"Vision and Purpose of the
World Alliance of Religions' Peace Summit
World Alliance of Religions:
A Glorious Milestone that will Change Humanity
 Today, it is thought that roughly 70
percent of the world's population claims to be religious.
With approximately 4,250 religions being practised in the
world, the reasons people adhere to the prescribed
ideologies can be understood to be diverse as the practices
associated with them. Many people find solace in their
religions, choosing to ignore the fact that the self-same
ideology which provides such comfort to them, can also be
used by unscrupulous individuals to motivate, instigate, and
perpectuate conflicts.
Whilst it is too simplistic to say that the diverse
ideologies and spiritual traditions of our world are the
cause of such conflicts, there can be no denying the
influence they exert on them. Certainly, if the
religions of our world are able to resolve the conflicts
that exist between their denominations, as well as those
existing between different religions, we will have taken a
big step towards making world peace a reality.
In order to achieve this end, the World Alliance of
Religions' Peace Summit will serve as a meeting place where
the representatives of the religions of our world will
gather to unite in overcoming the deep-rooted barriers which
have come to exist, and in doing so , promote unity and
peace. Through discussions, an interfaith peace
agreement - a document that will form the foundation upon
which an interfaith constitution can later be written and
implemented - will be formed.
This agreement will be the first step in solidifying a world
alliance of religions whose aim is to pursue world peace - a
legacy which will be proud to leave to all the generations
who follow in the footsteps.
Providing a Key to Peace, a
Common Wish of All Nations
The ultimate goal of the World
Alliance of Religions' Peace Summit is to be a key building
block in the achievement of world peace. For this
purpose, leaders from all over the world and experts from
various walks of life will gather to have an in-depth
discussion of the role of religion, education, and politics
for bringing about peace. Discussions will centre
around the main topics of current issues pertaining to
religion, conflicts, and solutions to the challenges we
currently face. The World Alliance of Religions' Peace
Summit will provide a key to everlasting peace, which is a
common wish of all nations."
"The Heavenly Culture
The term
heavenly culture
refers to a culture based on the principle that life on the
earth can only exist as a result of the light (impressions
food*) , rain
(ordinary solid and liquid food*),
and air (air as food) provided without partiality
from the heavens (higher up the Ray of Creation above
man*). The sky has no borders, no divisions, and
give to all who live on earth freely. A culture based
on this principle is one which focuses less on the
differences in nationality , ideology, race, or gender - all
differences which have become deeply entrenched in our
concept of who we are as humanity (tritocosmos). A
heavenly culture is one in which life itself is given
greater value than things we see as setting us apart
from one another. It is only through the cultivation
of such culture that peace - the hope of all nations - can
be realized in our world. The purpose of the WARP
Summit is to gather the foremost academics, thinkers, and
leaders in both religious and secular fields to discuss the
formation and implementation of just such as culture of
unity.
"Introduction
