2022 “Pursue Peace” Convention Unites 239 Countries in More Than 500 Languages

July 24, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Jehovah’s Witnesses are holding their annual summer conventions around the world in 500 languages, including 100s of thousands in Ukraine and Russia. This year it will be held virtually by accessing JW.ORG. The convention takes place in July and August. It will be attended by many here on the Shore and the public is invited.

The theme for the 2022 convention is “Pursue Peace.”  

Against the tragic backdrop of a historic conflict in Europe, Somerset County, Maryland residents will unite with millions around the globe to promote the timely theme “Pursue Peace” as they participate in a six-part annual event scheduled for July and August, 2022.

“We look forward to this spiritual feast every year,” said Denise Evans, the Somerset County resident, who along with her husband, Kenneth Evans Sr. and son, Kenneth Jr. plan to attend each session throughout the summer. “There is so little peace in the world today. Now more than ever, learning from the Bible and sharing with others how we can pursue peace in all areas of our life, is just what we need,” said Kenneth Sr.

. This year it will be held virtually by accessing JW.ORG. 

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been holding global conventions for more than 100 years, the last three years featuring virtual events accessed through the free JW Library app or at jw.org. The program’s first segment will be available for streaming or download beginning June 27, 2022. All are invited to attend the program at no charge.

“This convention is an object lesson in how peace is being achieved by a global community right now as it unites millions of people even in areas of conflict like Ukraine and Russia,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “The power of the principles being discussed transcends national borders, ethnic differences and language barriers. Both individuals and families will benefit from attending the program.”

Prior to 2020, Jehovah’s Witnesses held their annual convention locally at  the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.While they hope to host in-person large gatherings again in the future, the decision was made late last year to again hold the 2022 convention virtually. On April 1 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses began meeting in person for the first time in two years locally and around the world.

The three-day convention will be available in six parts, each corresponding to a half day of content. Topics to be explored are:

  • How love leads to inner peace and peace with others.
  • Why the Bible can be called “the road map to family peace.”
  • How to attain peace even when suffering illness, economic problems, natural disasters or other difficulties.
  • What people from around the world are doing to enjoy peace.
  • Why friendship with God can lead to true peace.

The convention will conclude with the exciting presentation, “Universal Peace is Sure to Come!”

All are invited to attend the event by going to jw.org on the web or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library app available for iOS or Android, or on streaming platforms like ROKU TV, Apple TV and others. The program is free and accessible to all. The schedule for download and global streaming is listed below.
