Ecumenical peace prayer: Together for Palestine in Leipzig!

Next Monday at 6 p.m., the Lukaskirche at Dresdener Straße 109 invites you to an ecumenical prayer of peace, which is organized by the women of the world prayer day movement. This event is part of a global initiative that brings women from various Christian denominations to pray for peace and solidarity. This year, Palestine, the "World Prayer Day", the focus is on a topic that currently brings many challenging news, as the Protestant Dean Volker Janke emphasizes.

The World Prayer Day is not only a religious event, but also a platform to show solidarity and pray for women and children who suffer from conflicts. In the Lukaskirche, the participants want to create space in order to allow both the perceived fainting about the oppressive messages and to draw hope and encourage each other.

solidarity and hope

The ecumenical prayer offers an opportunity to tackle everyday dangers and uncertainties and combine with other communities. The aim of this meeting is to raise awareness of the situation in Palestine. The negative reporting in the media creates an urgent need to draw attention to the personal fates of the people living there.

In a time when many people are confronted with conflicts and crises, this prayer group represents a form of community and support. Members of the Catholic and Protestant communities are cordially invited to raise their voices for peace.

These important events show how spiritual practices and community actions can go hand in hand to work on peaceful solutions and at the same time promote a deeper relationship with other beliefs. It is an urgent call not to ignore the challenges of our time and instead react with hope and courage.
