The International Day of Prayer for Peace

By / 18 September 2009

The International Day of Prayer for Peace is on 21 September. It is organised by the World Council of Churches (WCC) as part of their ‘Decade to Overcome Violence: Churches Seeking Reconciliation and Peace’ initiative.

It began in 2004 following a meeting between the WCC General Secretary Rev Dr Samuel Kobia and the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, and is “an opportunity for church communities in all places to pray and act together to nurture lasting peace in the hearts of people, their families, communities and societies.”

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
