There was an added poignancy to Peace Sunday in Catholic parishes across in England and Wales yesterday, as focus on environmental justice coincided with the unfolding tragedy in Haiti.
Church leaders are being encouraged to mark The International Day of Peace on Peacemaking Sunday using resources provided by The Baptist Union of Great Britain, The Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church.
The annual World Peace Day message is due to be celebrated by a record number of Catholic parishes in England and Wales this Sunday, 14 January 2007, reports Pax Christi, the international Catholic movement for peace.
