Bells for Peace and Friendship…
An interreligious initiative from Lienz / Tyrol
Bells of Christian churches are ringing several times a dayas a memento of prayer.
We also cordially invite people, who are denominationally unaffiliated or belong to other religions to imagine, how at the same time, the sound spreads peace and friendship
in families, communities, nations and between religions and generations.
The bells of the catholic church of St. Andrews in Lienz can be heard on the website.
We would be happy, if you could tell the participants of the peace ceremony about the idea and invite the people to use the bells of the different churches in Vienna to remember them daily on peace and friendship.
With warm regards
Elisabeth Ziegler-Duregger
