“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”(Ps.133:1). Keeping this verse of Psalm in mind and heart, the faithful of different denominations of Nagpur had Nine days of prayer service in different places to bring unity among Christians. The prayer for Christian Unity began on 18th January to 25th January 2012. The Concluding Prayer Service for Christian Unity was held on 25th January at St. Charles Seminary which was organized by Carolian Theological Forum (C.T.F.). There was prayer service in the evening and the word of God was shared by Rev.Roger Gaikwal beautifully during the prayer service.Soon after the prayer service, there was symposium on the topic “The Importance of Christian Unity for Evangelization”. There were representatives from different denominations like Rev.Fr. Justus Paul, O.P., Rev.Pastor Hansraj Jain, Rev.Dr.Akbar, Rev.Pastor Amarendra Swalsingh and Rev. Hruda Rajan Lohora who could really enlighten and enrich the audience by their spiritual and inspiring thoughts on the topic. Well, the moderator of the symposium was Rev.Fr.
