The Apostasy of Assisi

John Paul II’s ‘Finest Hour’

Introduction

October 27 is the 40th Anniversary of John Paul II’s “World Day of Prayer for Peace” at Assisi, Italy. The Community of Sant’Egidio – which has held annual “Spirit of Assisi” events across the world ever since – is marking the occasion with a special celebration in Assisi itself:

A total of 384 representatives of religions, cultures and institutions from 53 countries will take part in the event. There will be 155 speakers participating in 24 thematic forums, addressing subjects including peace, prayer, the economy, conflicts, children and young people, the media, migration, disarmament, humanity, Christian unity, dialogue across the Mediterranean, the poor, and contemporary martyrs.
