Abstract

In response to an appeal by the Holy Father Pope John Paul II a prayer meeting for thedistinguished representatives of the world's religions was held in Assisi at the beginning of this year. The author of this paper depicts the immediate preparations, the procedure and also the reverberations of that large and important ecumenical and interreligious prayer meeting in history. In their joint declaration all representatives unanimously condemned every recourse to violence and war waged in the name of God, strongly emphasizing that religion must contribute to mutual respect, promotion of the peaceful cohabitation of nations and cultures, restitution of justice, reciprocal forgiveness and mutual love. Both participants and observers were unanimous in their assessment that the meeting would undoubtedly touch the hearts of many and mark contemporary world events.
