hundreds of thousands of people from churches, synagogues, and mosques around the world will join together in the International Day of Prayer for Peace.
On September 21, On Earth Peace will join in support of hundreds of congregations and community groups who wish to lift their voices across the US and around the world to say:
Violence will not have the final word.
God has a different dream for the world.
We know that a new thing is possible.
The campaign goal:
In 300 different communities,
church members and people of faith will prepare a public prayer event
to provide a positive vision
of
peaceful communities.
What could come of this?
As part of an international movement of prayer for peace, these vigils will lead many new people into becoming involved in creative local peacemaking initiatives, resulting in a stronger voice for Christian peacemaking in local, national, and international affairs.
Organizing the vigils will create STRONGER CONNECTIONS in your community between those who are concerned about peace and those who are taking action, leading to SHARED ACTION.
Through its support of local organizing activities for the International Day of Prayer for Peace, On Earth Peace will strengthen your local network of Christian-rooted peacemakers, and will provide opportunities for leadership development, resulting in increased effectiveness in local peace and community work.
With on-going community-based leadership working on local peacemaking initiatives, the promise is for a future with LESS VIOLENCE and MORE DYNAMIC PEACE in your community and in communities across the US and around the world.
