The event took place within the framework of the World Week for the Christian Unity, held between 18-25 of January each year. The leading theme of the worldwide prayer initiative of 2018 is "Your right hand, O Lord, is majestic in power" (Exo 15:7).

Representatives of various Christian Traditions and communities of Lviv took part in the prayer meeting. The Roman Catholic Church was represented by Fr. Hryhorii Draus; Armenian Apostolic Church - Deacon Arthur. Pastor Volodymyr Bilyk from the Church of the Complete Gospel "The Source of Life" also prayed with all.

Vasyl Sahan, and from the Center for military chaplains were Father Andrii Khomyshyn and the subdeacon Yurii Baluch (Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church), who came along with the cadets of the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Academy of the Land Forces.

The sermon was delivered by Archpriest Mykhailo Syvak, vice-rector of the Lviv Orthodox Theological Academy of the UOC-KP. Father Roman Fihas, DLMPES' coordinator and IES' employeer, thanked all the guests for their good will to participate in the prayer, which should become the first common step to overcome our divisions.
