The Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum (PIEF) of the World Council of Churches <\/a>invites member churches, faith-based communities, and civil society organizations to join together in 2013 for a week of advocacy and action in support of an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine and a just peace for all in Palestine and Israel. Congregations and individuals around the globe who share the hope of justice shall unite during the week to take peaceful actions, together, to create a common international public witness.<\/p>\n

The theme of the week in 2013 is: “Jerusalem, the city of justice and peace.”<\/p>\n

As part of the most recent World Week for Peace in Palestine Israel, from 28 May to 3 June 2012, churches in at least 25 countries around the world sent a clear signal to policy-makers, community groups, and their own parishes about the urgent need for a peace settlement that ends the illegal occupation and secures the legitimate rights and future of both peoples.<\/p>\n

During World Week for Peace 2013, participants will organize and join in events and activities around the following three principles:<\/p>\n

1. Praying with churches living under occupation, using a special prayer from Jerusalem and other worship resources prepared for the week. Note that\u00a0Tuesday of this week falls on\u00a0 Sept 24, the date of the monthly prayer vigil called for by\u00a0ACT Palestine.\u00a0<\/a>
\n2. Educating about actions that make for peace, and about facts on the ground that do not create peace, especially issues related to the city of Jerusalem.
\n3. Advocating with political leaders using ecumenical policies that promote peace with justice.<\/p>\n
