World Peace Prayer Society Report)
Heidi Rautionmaa, Espoo
We
had a peace celebration on the 21st of Sept at school with 400 pupils.
We had a peace dove again which traveled around the world to bring
the healing prayer to the people: May Peace Prevail on Earth.
School
visit
"May
Peace Prevail on Earth" was said many times and in several languages
by young students while they put a peace dove to fly on the 
stage to bring peace everywhere where children dreamed
her to fly.
There
was also information given for children about the importance of peace
and justice in the world by the slides from Africa. There were all
together some 400 students in those events at that school in Espoo.
Mosque
visit
The
interfaith group, Religious Forum in Helsinki URI (United Religions
Initiative), visited a Shia mosque and had there an event for peace.
People from different faiths read some sacred texts and poems that
inspire them to walk on the path that leads to peace. The event ended
with the prayer: May Peace Prevail on Earth.
We
will continue the celebration on the UN’s day, 24th of Oct.
with
Peace & Blessings, Heidi
