In a message addressed to all bishops' conferences, the Regional Episcopal Conference of North Africa (CERNA) and the Conference of the Latin Bishops of the Arab Regions (CELRA) are calling for an international day of fasting and prayer for peace in the Holy Land. The suggested day is Wednesday December 22nd, 2004. The message came out of a meeting which took place in Rome from October 11th to 16th, 2004. The two conferences are inviting all communities to be united on this initiative and to support it in any other way. Pax Christi International is calling its members worldwide to organize moments of prayers and fasting on that day. H.B.
