The Lord's Prayer in many languages, and many media formats, a world peace resource.

Why it is important: Voices Home invites everyone to look beneath the skin-deep differences and move beyond language barriers to find the common humanity and hope for a better world.

This project was undertaken by friends of Jimmy Carter in anticipation of the celebration of his 85th birthday, and is dedicated to the work of the Carter Center “Waging Peace. Fighting Disease. Building Hope.” Traveling beyond the languages and voices, we find each person lifting up the same prayer. Then, the interwoven voices are joined by a gospel choir.

We hope you'll agree that beneath all our different languages and exteriors are similar searches, and that the work of realizing the dreams of a better tomorrow begins by expanding our outlook to see our shared humanity today.

Our thanks to all of the voices who took part in this project – interns of The Carter Center, employees of The Elfenworks Foundation, and other friends far and near. Our thanks to you, our visitors, for all you do as a voice for peace in the world.

Nonprofits and faith-based groups have our permission to make limited use of our sheet music for their own Voices Home events. Tell us about your forthcoming or recent event, and contact us with images we can post. It is our hope that with this project, harmonious understanding will grow in the 21st century. If you want to send us sounds, please contact us with other 22kHz 64kbps radio quality mp3s we can post of other spoken languages, to please feel free… we don't promise but we'll try. If you are interested in our forthcoming HD video series please contact us today.
