In 1968, the World Day of Prayer International Committee was formed and ever since the International Committee has met every four or five years. The World Day of Prayer International Committee is composed by the WDP National Committees elected delegates, who come together to share experiences and grow in understanding of one another. They also select themes and writers for WDP services, elect an ecumenical Executive Committee, define objectives and responsibilities for financing, and consider ways by which the movement may grow.
The last International Meeting was held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, in 2017, and we left it knowing that we would meet again for the 14th time in 2022. At the top of this page, you see the logo for the meeting, which was a collaborative effort with the Presbyterian Women (PC-USA). The leaf of hope, which encircles WDP, springs out in a dancing movement towards a new heart and mind. With the uplifting message about the intention of the gathering, comes the announcement of the date and location of the International Meeting. The theme, “New Heart, New Mind, Called to Hope”, is based on the letter to Ephesians (1,18). We are called to hope therefore, |

Welcome to Scotland
We are delighted that the invitation to host the 2022 International Meeting was accepted. Our hope is that your presence will strengthen communication and fellowship with the local groups, while we gain an understanding of the worldwide ecumenical movement. We believe that the meeting will encourage us to go out and share our vision of ‘informed prayer and prayerful action.’
We are looking forward to hosting our sisters from all parts of the world. The Conference Centre and accommodations are part of Edinburgh University, which is located on beautiful grounds sitting beside a park. There are wonderful walkways, perfect for an early morning stroll and, for the energetic, a world-renowned swimming pool. The campus is a short bus ride to the centre of Edinburgh, our capital with historic landmarks and traditional churches. The programme will include a few traditional Scottish things, like Scottish dancing and wonderful cakes and scones baked by our skilled ladies.
We are privileged to host this meeting with the theme “New Heart, New Mind. Called to Hope”. Our hope and prayer is that, as we unite together, we will renew our commitment to serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
