"Dear journalists, international observers, residents and visitors! Tonight, just as in the previous 77 days, we shall pray. Recall that tomorrow on May 24, an interfaith prayer is slated to be held from 12 PM to 1 PM on Constitution Square. In these troubled times in our country, people of diverse faiths throughout Ukraine join together in prayer that God will heal our country and send us peace. We pray that instead of killing and hatred, may there be love and reconciliation.
The interfaith prayer will take place in all the local centers of Ukraine, at one and the same time. Donetsk, too, will join in our communal prayer. If you love God, the people, and the homeland, we invite you to join us in our hour of standing in prayer. This event is purely religious, and so we ask you to please refrain from political statements and rhetoric. We invite the public and the media to take part in this interfaith prayer for Ukraine," wrote Pastor Sergey Kosyak on Facebook.
