Symphony Of Peace Prayers (SOPP)
The main concern of SOPP is to bring together different forms of religious peace prayer as well as approaches to the subject by music & visual art, in order to create compassion among them. Goal is: to experience all different forms of prayer and to be invited into each others ritual. By sharing this experience, we search out our common vision for the future. We are all individuals, and we need to understand our specific mission in life, which is: creating peace on earth. SOPP is one step on that path, creating a place (moment ) of peace, and connecting cities and countries on the same day world wide:
