Representatives from the Catholic, Protestants, Jewish and Islamic faiths would proclaim messages of peace at various centres in the country simultaneously on Thursday, November 16, 2006.The group started speaking in 120 cities in America and Japan as part of what has become known as a world tour, where leaders of various religions go round demonstrating love for all humanity and calling on people to come together to bring peace.
Evangelist Eselecha Bill Forcha, Representative of Universal Peace Federation, a non-governmental organization that recognized the importance of faith in God as a central component for peacemaking, announced this at a press conference on Wednesday.
He said the group would speak at Amasaman; La; Abokobi; Ofankor; Sukura and Weija, all in the Greater Accra Region as well as Juapong and Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
He explained that the world tour was initiated by Dr Sun Myung Moon, a servant of God, who went round over 120 cities with his family proclaiming peace.
Dr Moon, who founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12 2005 always prayed sincerely that the United Nations would be an institution of peace and would uphold God's will for the realization of eternal peace, Evangelist Forcha said.
"Today heavenly fortune has visited us. Let us welcome and hear from these ambassadors of peace, clergies and apostles of our time sent to all the corners of the world," he said.
Evangelist Forcha said the group went through Europe and were now in Africa but would finally end their tour in South America. Bishop Abraham Annor, member of Universal Peace Federation, noted that peace should start from the family explaining that if there was peace in the families it would affect the society.
He advised that marriages should also be God centred to enable parents to train their children in a way that would yield peace in the society in the future.
