International Day of Peace Vigil 21 September 2002 866 UN Plaza, Suite 575 New York, NY 10017 www.idpvigil.com

Dear Friends,

Last year, the United Nations unanimously passed a resolution designating September 21 of each year as an "International Day of Peace". The intention of the resolution is to have the entire world observe a full day of "global ceasefire and nonviolence". All peoples and organizations are invited to commemorate the day in an appropriate manner.

A small group of lay persons 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 the observation of a worldwide, 24-hour vigil for peace and non-violence on the International Day of Peace, 21 September 2002 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".

This global 24-hour Vigil is meant to demonstrate the power of prayer and other spiritual observations in promoting peace and preventing violent conflict. These worldwide spiritual vigils will also help raise public awareness of the International Day of Peace and directly support the establishment of a global ceasefire. Individuals and groups are invited to support this world-wide initiative by committing to hold a 24-hour vigil on 21 September 2002.

Please register your commitment on the International Day of Peace Vigil website at: www.idpvigil.com, or mail it to: International Day of Peace Vigil, 866 UN Plaza, Suite 575, New York, NY 10017. Indicate the name of the individual or group, a contact person and the number of people participating in the Vigil. All commitments will be posted on our website (www.idpvigil.com).
