| Dear Sir/Madam |
| Greetings from Diocese
of Agra, U.P. & U.A.C.C., Y.M.C.A, and
D.B.S.S. |
| World Council of Churches
every year observes 21st September as International
Day of Prayer for Peace. The Council encourages
all people to support this day. United Nations
had also formally adopted this day as International
Day of Prayer for Peace. |
| When the world today is
at war in so many places, the forces of violence,
war and oppression seem to be increasing and
praying for peace may seems to be a futile
exercise. Yet we all believe in the power
and in the promise of peace given by the Lord
Jesus Christ. |
| To support this noble
cause Diocese of Agra ,Uttar Pradesh &
Uttranchal Council of Churches, Young Men
Christian Association, Agra and Diocesan Board
of Social Service, Agra have jointly decided
to observe this day. We jointly call all of
you to walk with those oppressed by violence
and to act in solidarity with those struggling
for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. |
| To transform words into
action we have decided to assemble at SHAHEED
SMARAK , Sanjay Place, Agra on 21st September
2006, at 6:00 P.M. to show our solidarity
towards human kind. We all together will pray
for peace in this world. |
| You are requested to kindly
attend the occasion of Prayer for Peace. Your
presence will be highly appreciated. |
| Thanking you, |
| Yours truly, |
The
Revd.P.P.Habil

Diocese of Agra
