UK's One World Week Inter-Faith Initiative

From Ekklesia:

One World Week (OWW), the development education charity, is broadening the scope of its traditional development education work with church communities to other faiths with a new three-year DfID-funded project, "Exploring Ubuntu – One World Week Across Faiths".

This England-wide project aims to focus initially on Muslim communities and black and minority ethnic groups, drawing on shared concerns of many religions that relate to believers' responsibilities to poor people and for the environment.

OWW will support people with new ways of planning together "international development awareness-raising activities" (called "OWW Ubuntu events"), within their own faith community and beyond.

Editor's note: Note the remarkable similiarity between One World Week, The New Monasticism, Red Letter Christians and Rick Warren's PEACE Plan.
