LPF's national coordinator, Glen Gersmehl, is being featured today in a video on the ELCA web site. The ELCA made 3-4 minute videos on peace themes for the week leading up to the International Day of Prayer for Peace.

This video series so far has featured Dennis Frado, director of the Lutheran Center for World Community in NY City, Rev Stephen Bouman who directs the ELCA's unit on Congregational Mission, and Donna Braband, ELCA director of schools. Here's the link to today's video with each of the above underneath. They should all be visible for the whole week, and additional ones will be added in the remaining days before Sept. 21.

Both the ELCA and LPF web sites offer a variety of prayers, litanies and other materials to use in the Sunday before and after the Day of Prayer for Peace. BOth have blurbs at or near the top of the home page: www.lutheranpeace.org and www.elca.org.

Here is the link to the videos:
