Ecumenical Peace Decade: Together for peace and justice!

Ecumenical Peace Decade: Together for peace and justice!

The countdown to the Ecumenical Decade of Peace is already underway! From November 9th to 19th, 2025, a strong signal for peace and justice will be sent in Frankfurt (Oder) and many other places. Under the motto “Come awaken peace,” numerous events invite people to actively participate in the discussion about peace and reconciliation. A highlight will be the prayer for peace and justice, which will take place on November 14th at 4:30 p.m. in the Friedenskirche. This regular event, which takes place on Fridays at the same time and in the same place, aims to decisively counter the logic of war and the preparation for conflict. Frankfurt Oder reported.

The initiator of the Peace Decade, which has been committed to justice, peace and the preservation of creation for over 40 years, would like to draw attention to the challenges of today with a clear commitment to reconciliation and diplomacy. In a year marked by conflict, it is even more important to create a common space where the message of peace can be spread loud and clear. friedensdekade.de emphasizes that, especially in times like these, enough can never be done for peace.

Variety of activities

The abundance of events during the Peace Decade is remarkable. In addition to the prayer, there will be a meeting on October 27th on the theme of “Swords into Plowshares,” which will focus on active peacebuilding. A nationwide appeal for disarmament, which will be supported on October 22nd, also shows how diverse and committed the efforts are. Participants can also look forward to workshops and discussion groups that cover many facets of the topic.

The preparations for the Peace Decade also offer the opportunity for community and exchange. Materials for the Peace Decade are available in the online shop, meaning communities and interested parties are well prepared for the events. friedensdekade.de also provides free download offers that provide valuable support in organizing local events.

In these difficult times, the importance of such initiatives becomes clear. The desire for peace, hope and reconciliation unites us all. Events such as the Ecumenical Peace Decade create a platform that makes it possible to actively carry this universal message into the world. Together we can do our part to promote the urgent cause of peace and bring it to people's hearts.
