Sanctuary for Peace

Christ Church, Dayton, will host “Sanctuary for Peace,” a community gathering offering prayers for peace and maintaining a vigil for peace in our sanctuary during the NATO Summit. Open for all people of all faiths!

From May 22–26, downtown Dayton will be transformed into “NATO Village” when the NATO Parliamentary Association, including 300 parliamentarians from the 32 NATO countries, comes to town. Christ Church is near the center of the secure zone, yet our church building will not stand empty; in recognition of the powerful need for peace in our time, we will offer “Sanctuary for Peace”.

Although Christ Church is inside the security zone, access is available by foot from about 1-2 blocks away. We’ll share information on parking and security zone access points as soon as details become available to us.
