Each year on 21 September the World Council of Churches calls churches and parishes to observe the International Day of Prayer for Peace. This year, you are invited to share prayers of hope for a just peace and post images symbolizing peace for you on this Facebook page ahead of the event. Perhaps there is a hope you experienced through the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation (www.overcomingviolence.org), a hope you received or a hope you were able to give?

On 21 September 2011 (or the nearest Sunday) please share the prayers gathered here with members and leaders of your church, with people you met at IEPC and with your networks; and say the prayer(s) in worship or at a peace day event.

Fore more information, please visit www.overcomingviolence.org/IDPP
