World Prayer for Peace 2027
One prayer, written by artists from every faith.
We invite artists of every kind, from all faiths and from anywhere in the world, to take part in World Prayer for Peace 2027. There is no religious requirement, and nobody has to travel. If you are an artist at heart, you are welcome.
Write a line of prayer for peace. English is preferred, but any language is welcome, and every line is translated into English so that the prayer is clear to all.
Send it through the form on this page, or by email. We do not use social media, so everything arrives by email or the website form.
Once all the lines are collected, the text is prepared and narrated over music. It becomes a video with a slowly moving background, and every artist is credited by name and country while the prayer is read.
The video is released on World Peace Day, 21 September 2027, and stays on YouTube and on this website with the earlier editions.
