The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated in the Southern Hemisphere between Ascension Sunday and Pentecost Sunday, thus from 21 to 28 May in Aotearoa New Zealand for 2023.

The theme for this year is “Do good; seek justice” from Isaiah 1:17.

The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2023 was chosen, and the materials prepared, by a group of Christians in the United States of America convened by the Minnesota Council of Churches. The draft resources were finalized by an international group jointly sponsored by the Dicastery for Christian Unity and the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches.
