WCC encourages global fellowship to pray for peace in Ukraine
In a series of global prayers for peace, the World Council of Churches (WCC) invites people and churches around the world to join in the Global Prayer for Peace in Ukraine on 11 June at 13.00 Central European Time [7 am Eastern Daylight Time in the US].
The WCC series of global prayers for peace, which began with a prayer for the Middle East, is intended to bring the worldwide ecumenical community into a shared rhythm of solidarity, intercession, and hope.
Rooted in faith and grounded in the conviction that prayer is both witness and action, the initiative reflects the vocation of the churches to accompany those who suffer and to uphold the dignity of all people.
The Global Prayer for Peace in Ukraine is prepared and organized in cooperation with the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, which represents more than 90% of all religious organizations and communities in Ukraine.
Special resource brochure for the Global Prayer for Peace in Ukraine has been developed by the WCC to accompany the event. It offers prayers from Ukraine, in English and Ukrainian, to guide in shared moments of intercession and hope.
