The United Nations General Assembly has set September 21 of each year as the International Day of Peace — a day of global ceasefire and non-violence when all nations and people are encouraged to honor a cessation of hostilities. In 2008, the World Council of Churches invites congregations worldwide to pray for peace — possibly using the same prayers — on September 21.
The Peacemaking Program has posted a bulletin insert, prayers, and informational resources for the International Day of Peace.
