Pray Find time each day to pray for peace, to pray for the victims of war, for combatants on all sides, for the heads of state who are a party to this war, for the journalists who report it and for those who edit their reports. Ask that prayers for peace be included as part of your worship services. Let us use not only the power of prayer but of fasting to confront the powers and principalities which promote violence and division in our world. Arrange for special collections in your place of worship to benefit the efforts oforganizations working to help war victims. Keep informed Local newspapers are rarely enough in time of war.

Think of articles you can photocopy and share with them that will help them see the ways war only makes the situation worse for everyone in the region. Write letters Spend time every few days to write to the press, your representatives, your president or prime minister, or other officials who play a role in the war. Write and phone editors of newspapers and directors of television news programs.
