Has Christ been divided?

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is jointly observed every year from January 18 through January 25 by the Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches. The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2014 is “Has Christ been divided?,” a reference to 1 Corinthians 1:13:

For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius; Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

Each day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2014 has its own theme:

• January 18: Together . . . we are called to be saints
• January 19: Together . . . we give thanks for God’s grace in one another
• January 20: Together . . . we are not lacking in any spiritual gifts
• January 21: Together . . . we affirm that God is faithful
• January 22: Together . . . we are called into fellowship
• January 23: Together . . . we seek to be in agreement
• January 24: Together . . . we belong to Christ
• January 25: Together . . . we proclaim the gospel
