The Interfaith Network of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines is joining with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines to call for an international interfaith day of prayer for a Just Peace in the Philippines on September 1, 2024. We are calling for this day of prayer on September 1 to coincide with the commemoration of the signing of the Hague Joint Declaration of 1992, an important agreement between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines that sets the purpose of peace talks to achieve a peace that is just and lasting in the Philippines. 

We have created a folder of resources to assist congregations and individuals in participating. The resource folder can be accessed at this link. It contains the following resources:

• An introduction and background on the day of prayer.
• A series of stories of individuals affected by state violence in the Philippines.
• A prayer service liturgy drafted by members of the International Interfaith Network, to be used on September 1.
• Additional resources created by the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.

If you participate in the day of prayer, either as a congregation, group, or as an individual, we encourage you to take photos and videos and share them with us. Please send your photos and videos to the email address secretariat@ichrp.net, or tag us on social media at the username @ICHRPGlobal.
