International Day of Peace Vigil
21 September 2003
In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously
adopted resolution (A/RES/55/282) designating
September 21st of each year as an International Day of
Peace.
The intention of the resolution is to have the entire world
observe a day of peace and nonviolence. All peoples and
organizations are invited to commemorate the day in an
appropriate manner.
An ever expanding number of people worldwide representing
a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions has
committed to the task of working with other like-minded
individuals and groups for an International Day of Peace Vigil with the following
objective:
"To encourage worldwide, 24-hour spiritual observations
for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of
Peace, Sunday, 21 September 2003 in every house of
worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious
and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all
men, women and children who seek peace in the world."
