On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 AM, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Since then, the potential for nuclear catastrophe has grown to an unimaginable scale. Last year, people all over the world united in prayer for a world free of nuclear weapons. It was a truly moving event that reached well over 100,000 people. We hope the global reach of our prayers continues to grow with each annual Nuclear Prayer Day. We would like to invite you, your congregation, and all religions and walks of life to pray.
The Parliament of the World’s Religions is one of the co-sponsors of Nuclear Prayer Day 2023, organized by our colleagues at Voices for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (URI) as an official 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions pre-Parliament event. If you’re willing to join this global, interfaith community of prayer, visit Voices online to add your pin to the interactive map, locate a Nuclear Prayer in a variety of languages, find marketing resources, event updates, and more!
