The Conversion of Paul - The Conversion of Paul
|
Print
On January 25th we celebrate the conversion of Paul on the road to Damascus. He changed from being someone who, in his own words, “...was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it” (NRSV, Galatians 1:13) to someone who spent the rest of his life preaching the Gospel. You can read about his conversion in Acts 9:1-22. The liturgical colour is white for joy.
January 25th marks the end of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity which begins on January 18th.
