World Communion Sunday seeks to promote unity and communal worship among Christians worldwide by participating in the Eucharist on the same day. The multi-national, cross-denominational observance serves to foster global ecumenism, embodying the concept of universal Christian solidarity. Initiated in 1933 at Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, World Communion Sunday was created as a local event to unite Christians in times of great distress, amid the Great Depression. Its powerful message of unity and hope quickly resonated with other churches, and by 1940, the observance had been adopted by the Federal Council of Churches and became a worldwide event. On World Communion Sunday, thousands of churches across the globe partake in the Holy Communion concurrently. This unity in worship and simultaneous worldwide communion fosters a palpable sense of global Christian community. Elements often include global hymns, sermons centered on global themes, and breads from many cultures. The event lays bare a profound sense of interconnectedness and mutual support among Christians worldwide. World Communion Sunday takes place annually on the first Sunday of October.
