United Nations and World Council of Churches initiative for Decade to Overcome Violence. Annual focus 2008: Pacific Islands
The idea to add a prayer emphasis to the UN's International Day of Peace was proposed in 2004 during a meeting between World Council of Churches general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. The Day of Prayer is one of the initiatives of the WCC's Decade to Overcome Violence.
