Religious Communities Observe the United Nations' International Day of Peace
The United Religions Initiative (URI) calls world religions " to make 21 September an annual day when people of all faiths and spiritual traditions focus our prayers on the vision we all share: peace on Earth..."
"...Let us adopt this Day of Peace, offered by the General Assembly of the United Nations, as a neutral focus belonging not to one group but to all humanity.
Inspired by our scriptures and the wisdom of our teachers, the prayers of every faith will unite us in service to peace. Let us all join in this worldwide movement for a culture of peace, and express our solidarity with an International Day of Peace Proclamation.
The religious and spiritual communities of the world, working together, can be the most powerful force for peace in human history."
From the URI website: "The United Religions joins a rapidly growing community of interfaith organizations. Leaders and practioners are putting their faith into action for global good...
...Interfaith is a way to organize, a way to connect, commit and create community among people from different faith traditions.
...The interfaith movement recognizes that God is present in every religion. It believes that people of faith and good will must cooperate to break down religious prejudice and work together for a better world."
...Interfaith groups are working to seek:
- an economic and world order
- based on moral values shared by religions
- where the animal world and the earth are revered.
