Fuji Sanctuary, Japan

Over 10,000 people took part in the 13th annual SOPP ceremony at Fuji Sanctuary on May 14, both in person and online via live webcast. Prayer leaders from from six faith traditions led prayers for peace, after which participants in the May 12 Fuji Declaration Symposium were introduced on stage and offered messages of peace and hope. Accomplished Japanese vocalists Ms. Tomoko Maekawa and Mr. Fumio Onuki performed "We Are All Shining Divine Sparks" in Japanese and English, and Mr. Peter Jiseok Jung talked about his work establishing the Border Peace School in Cheorwon, Korea. Participants prayed for peace in each country and region on earth, as the flags were presented on stage, and held up their own flag cards as well.
