| International
Day of Peace Vigils |
http://www.idpvigil.com |
| n 2001, the United Nations
General Assembly unanimously adopted resolution (A/RES/55/282) designating
September 21st of each year as an International Day of Peace. The
intention of the resolution is to have the entire world observe
a day of peace and nonviolence. All are invited to commemorate the
day in an appropriate manner. An ever-expanding number of people
worldwide, representing a wide variety of religious and spiritual
traditions, have committed to the task of working with other like-minded
individuals and groups for an International Day of Peace Vigil with
the following objective: "To encourage worldwide, 24-hour spiritual
observations for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace,
21 September 2005 in every house of worship and place of spiritual
practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals,
and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world.
This global 24-hour spiritual observation for peace is meant to
demonstrate the power of prayer and other spiritual practices in
promoting peace and preventing violent conflict. These worldwide
spiritual observances will also help raise public awareness of the
International Day of Peace and directly support the establishment
of a global ceasefire. Individuals and groups are invited to support this
worldwide initiative by committing to hold a 24-hour vigil on 21
September 2005. Please record your individual or group commitment
at http://www.idpvigil.com/commitments/addForm.html.
Commitments are posted by geographical location so that others can
know of Vigils in your area. |
