Marking the International Decade of Culture of Peace 2001 - 2010

The Committee of the Network of Ecumenical Women in Scotland (NEWS) has put together an Order of Service for use on International Peace Day which this year falls on 21st of September.

The Service material will be placed on ACTS’ web site during August and is freely downloadable from this site.

The Co-Convener of NEWS, Charmian Paterson, said 'The women of NEWS are conscious of the need for prayer for world peace and wanted to contribute to the International Decade of Culture of Peace 2001 - 2010.

The material they have produced is a resource designed to help Christians in Scotland and beyond to mark the annual International Day of Peace but is flexible enough to be adapted to local needs at any appropriate time.

We particularly hope that people will get together locally to arrange services to mark this year's International Day of Peace on September 21st."
