Ecumenical Council, the Roman
Catholic Church and Greek Catholic

Polish artist, Areta Fedah created-
the cover art of this year’s World Day
of Prayer 2005 theme. She wrote, “I
was led by Matthew 5: 14. A city that
is set on a hill cannot be hid. The
triangle means the hill but also the eye
of God’s Providence along with the
included symbol of a contemporary
city. The brightened space over the
triangle is the Light, the Sacred, the
Divine Mystery. The light of God
penetrates the cloud of the triangular
hill. It unites, helps the efforts of
people, shares its holiness. The dark
blue background is the colour of
ecumenism. The yellow (of the
windows and cross) is the colour of
warmth, hearth, and home, of
light.”

greenhouse gases a year. Driving, heating and cooling our homes,
using appliances.. .almost anything we do that uses fossil fuels for
energy also creates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. And these
emissions are causing our climate to change.
Take the One-Tonne Challenge — reduce your energy use and
your GHG emissions by 20%, or one tonne. You’ll save money,
and help to protect our climate and our air quality.
