Thessalonians 5:16-18
Children are welcome. Those so led may choose to invite an international student, colleague or friend to their home for a quick supper before bringing them to the Peace Social and dessert.
The prayer for world peace was the inspiration of a Japanese poet and philosopher named Masahisa Goi (1916-1980). After witnessing the terrible destruction of the Second World War, Mr. Goi searched for a way to bring people together in our common desire for peace. May Peace Prevail on Earth came to him as a universal prayer that transcends all divisions of nationality, religion, race or culture.
There are more than 100,000 Peace Poles in 160 countries around the world. Most of them are 4-sided pillars about 7 feet high proclaiming, "May Peace Prevail on Earth," in different languages. The Peace Pole dedication ceremony brings the community together in celebration, and then the Peace Pole remains to link earth and sky in silent vigil for peace on earth, part of a great network spanning the globe.
