Contributors to this volume represent a cross-section of perspectives both denominationally including Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist, and Reformed as well as in light of their lived experience of Christian spirituality and prayer. Each essayist offers significant insights into the history, theology, and spirituality of the Week of Prayer in particular, and of ecumenical prayer in general. / Contributors: Catherine Clifford, Sr. Minke de Vries, Steven R.
