The Griffith University Multi-Faith Centre invites members of all communities to its International Day of Peace Commemoration on Thursday, 17 September, 2009, 7:15-9:00pm.
I will be delivering one of the key presentations of this evening.
In 2002, the United Nations designated September 21st each year as the International Day of Peace (IDP), as a day to encourage all peoples and countries to make a commitment to world unity, a global ceasefire and non-violence.
This event is an opportunity for individuals, communities and organizations to witness and participate in a multi-faith commemoration for peace. In the lead up to the IDP, it will enable participants to link with millions of people and many governments, regional and non-government organizations, faith/religious communities and educational institutions engaged in IDP events.
The Program will include:
- A multimedia, multi-faith reflection on Peace
- Two presentations on peacemaking
- A lasting peace in Sri Lanka?
The way forward from a Christian perspective
– Rev. Pan Jordan - The challenge of peace-building among children and youth
The Together for Humanity experience
– Ronit Baras
- A lasting peace in Sri Lanka?
- Musical performances for peace
Please RSVP by September 11
