Week of Prayer for world peace

The Week of Prayer for World Peace was started as a Christian initiative in 1974. It soon became an interfaith activity, and now welcomes everyone, of all faith traditions or none. 

Gatherings are held worldwide to celebrate the week and a leaflet of interfaith prayers and reflections is available each year.
