Church prays for successful meeting

The Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI), on behalf of all
churches in the country, said yesterday that it is praying for
the APEC leaders gathering in Indonesia to discuss the future of
the region, home to over half of the world's population.

"We welcome the APEC conference with a prayer that the leaders
in the Asia-Pacific region are given strength, health and wisdom
to include the interests of mankind in this region in their
considerations and decisions," the PGI's executive board
announced.

The board hopes that the conference can contribute to the
establishment of a world economic order that is more just, which
in turn could lead to greater peace, the organization said. (emb)
