The Christian Churches all over the world (Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant ones) will celebrate again, on September 21st, the "World Day of prayer for peace". This is an initiative states a release from Wcc that offers to the Churches all over the world an opportunity "to pray and act together to build lasting peace in the hearts of the peoples, in the families, communities and societies". The Day will coincide with the World Peace Day launched by the United Nations. The Churches will promote several events of prayer and socialisation on September 21st. The most outstanding one will involve nine countries in the Pacific, Europe and North America. It is a veritable peace relay race: the Churches of American Samoa, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, New Zealand, Norway, Samoa, Tuvalu and the United States will join into a chain of prayer that will embrace the earth for 24 hours on end, in the name of peace.
