Ecumenical prayer week starts in Hungary
Cardinal Péter Erdő, Hungary’s Catholic primate, stressed the “internal congregation of love” of the church at the opening of an ecumenical week of prayer in Saint Stephen’s Basilica on Sunday.
In his message at the worship service, Erdo quoted Jesus’ words to his disciples: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”.
Reformed Church Bishop József Steinbach, who heads the Ecumenical Council of Hungarian Churches (MEÖT), said that especially during difficult times, it is important to “marvel at the sustaining love of God”.
The other heads of MEÖT member churches also participated at the service.
President János Áder attended.

The Discipleship that we exhibit to each other is through the Love and Care for our Brothers and Sisters that our lifestyle is built on – the foundations of our existence and being.
DEEDS – for each other – actions that we undertake consciously – what a way to grow Discipleship.
Deeds – don’t cost our pockets but enrich us individually and as Communities and as a Country.
