May 4th Global Freedom Day: An International Interfaith Prayer Day


On May 4th, 2010, thousands of individuals from almost every nation in the world will be praying and fasting for social progress. "We are not trying to set a first Guiness World Record for people to read and forget," says Sylvain Henry, initiator of the spiritual solidarity movement, "we are simply petitioning God directly for immediate action towards what we need." Many of the participants feel that world leaders are powerless to make the change this world really needs like creating employment that pays "living" wages or preventing war between the resource-hungry western world and resource-rich Muslim nations.


People from all faiths are participating, several athiests are also joining this spiritual movement for social change by focusing on the desired change. Though most will be praying and fasting from their own homes, the new worldwide group has also organized a Global Google Map that pinpoints the locations where people can meet to pray together (cafes, parks, etc). Prayer requests are also being accepted for consideration.

"The image standard for our movement is the Greenheart photo, taken by nature photographer Eri Hariono from Indonesia and donated to our cause. The photo was taken in a lush Indonesian tea plantation. The green foiliage represents our collective sustainable hope of a better
future for our youth. The heart-shaped tree represents the ultimate love force thats that unites us."
