To foster closer relationships between Catholics and Protestants and help them get to know one another, Catholic and Protestant churches in Yunlin and Chiayi region have been scheduling a few joint events every year since 2007 and taking turns hosting them. Joint events usually include a prayer for Christian unity held in mid-January, a get-together between Catholic and Protestant clergy members held in October, and a joint-caroling event held around Christmas.

This year's prayer meeting for Christian unity was hosted by Chiayi Presbytery and held at Huwei Presbyterian Church on January 15, 2012. Though one of the prayer items on every year's prayer list is social justice, this theme resonated more than ever before as participants prayed together for a return to normalcy following the presidential and legislative elections that had taken place the day before.
