[edit] Rename?
Any thoughts on whether this article should be renamed, and if so, what it should be changed to? Much as I am a fan of both the prayer and of St. Francis of Assisi, it is pretty well established that he didn't write it, and it seems Wikipedia is propagating an inaccuracy by having the prayer in an article titled under his name. As for what to rename it to, maybe the lack of an obvious answer is the reason it hasn't already been changed. I've seen it titled The Peace Prayer, but other suggestions are welcome. --Mwalimu59 16:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
That is a very good idea, since it is confirmed by studies that the prayer was just printed on the backside of a picture of St. Francis around 1912 in the wake of World War I. But there could be a redirection from the old title, since many people still search for the text under this name, and there should be a definite correction within the text that states that St. Francis is not the author.
