Prayer for the Unity of the Church

Almighty Father,
whose blessed Son before His passion prayed for His disciples that they might be one,
even as Thou and He are one:
Grant that thy Church,
being bound together in love and obedience to Thee,
may be united in one body by the one Spirit,
that the world may believe in Him Whom Thou didst send,
the same Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord;
who liveth and reigneth with Thee,
in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

This is becoming more appropriate every day. We need to make sure that people are asking for prayer on this subject in our churches each week. Who wrot that prayer?
