The World Day of Prayer for Women is a global ecumenical prayer movement. It allows women from various churches in different countries to articulate their faith and life experiences in a specially crafted liturgy for a publicly celebrated worship service worldwide. Elfriede Dörr explores the specific approaches to ecumenical prayer in the World Day of Prayer and reflects on the grassroots experiences of faith in their theological and didactic quality. The World Day of Prayer serves as a learning space for the prayer movement itself, shaped by the diverse ecumenical and cultural contexts in the global setting. The fact that laywomen raise new theological questions through their ecumenical worship makes the World Day of Prayer a learning environment for theology and the church as well.
