To all National Spiritual Assemblies
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
340.1 The Universal House of Justice has asked us to call to your attention the convening of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders that is to be held at the United Nations headquarters in New York on 28—31 August 2000. At the invitation of the organizers, the Faith will be represented by Mr. Albert Lincoln, Secretary-General of the Bahá’í International Community.
340.2 A call has been made for religious communities throughout the world to join in a Day of Prayer for World Peace on 28 August, the opening day of the Summit. Although this information has just in the last few days reached the Bahá’í World Center, the Universal House of Justice feels that it merits a positive response on the part of the Bahá’í community. We have therefore been asked to suggest that you take whatever action is possible under the circumstances. The response of the friends might well include their joining with members of other religions in the spirit of interfaith cooperation.
- With loving Bahá’í greetings,
- DEPARTMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT
