The week has been chosen to include United Nations Day. 24 October. The Week of Prayer for World Peace will be inaugurated on Saturday. 19 October "at a service to be held at Westminster Abbey at 3 p.m •• when the Archbishop of Canterbury will be the preacher. We hope this special Week will provide an annual occasion when Christians and members of other faiths may, ·in the words of the Lambeth Conference, ·subject to intense prayer and study their attitude to the issues involved in modern warfare-. There will be a need to follow up and surround such prayer with a study of those contemporary problems which lead to conflict: the issues that create injustice, notably world poverty and the deni al of human rights; and those factors such as race, colour, political ideology, economic status and language which separate people from one another.· As today Christians pray together during January for the deeper unity of the Church, so we now call upon men and women of all faiths to pray in unity for world peace and for the unity of all mankind. Penitence will need to be an essential feature of this united act of prayer so that we may all of us not only learn from past errors, but also be open to the fresh insights which the unprecedented modern situation demands.
