URI Stories

The World Interfaith Peace Prayer Ceremony was created by Deborah Moldow for URI’s first Summit at Stanford. Please feel free to adapt this ceremony as part of an IDP gathering.

In the silence, we have a chance to get re-grounded in fundamental human values, and the lives of others are touched and influenced in ways large and small.

Enjoy this powerful poem at an IDP gathering. This poem could be a beautiful opening when people of different traditions come together to share a meal, or for an event when people share diverse music and songs.

Join people of all faiths around the world who are praying this Universal Prayer for Peace each day. Say this prayer often and share at IDP gatherings.

Each year, hundreds of URI Cooperation Circles participate in the International Day of Peace (IDP). As a global community, we put organized global spirit and energy into action! Here are some beloved ideas and inspirations for peacebuilding.
