Interfaith Partners to Host “Global Prayers for Ukraine” in Special Multi-Faith Service for Peace and Freedom at the UN

February 28, 2022

People of faith across the world have condemned the escalation of violence from Russia and have declared steadfast support for Ukraine and its people in the defense of their sovereignty and their democracy.

The Parliament of the World’s Religions and The Committee of Religious NGOs at the UN, in partnership with communities of faith, invite people and communities of faith, spirituality, and conscience to join the “Global Prayers for Ukraine: a multi-faith service for peace and freedom in a hurting world”.

The prayer service will feature prayers from diverse faith expressions upholding peace and freedom, share reflections of solidarity with Ukraine and the Ukrainian community around the world, call for a peaceful resolution to this conflict, and listen to messages from our sisters and brothers in Ukraine.

The interfaith service will be hosted on Thursday, March 3rd at 12 noon Eastern Time at the Church Center for the UN, Tillman Chapel (777 United Nations Plaza, at the corner of 1st Avenue), open to the New York City community in person. Please note that in accordance with the building’s indoor mask mandate, in-person attendees must wear a mask.
