Twenty-five years ago, Pope John Paul II declared a day of global peace. At the time it was considered a radical concept- nevertheless, John Paul rallied the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Japanese Shinto priests, fire-worshipping Zoroastrians, peace-pipe-smoking Native Americans and the chief rabbi of Rome to come to Assisi. He made clear they were together to pray.
Today this effort at world peace is being remembered as world religious leaders again gather in Assisi.
I pray with them today.
