Conference forges interreligious alliances in work for world peace

“Churches commit to peace action as historic convocation closes” Ekklesia May 25, 2011

Participants at the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation (IEPC) [May 17–25] have released a message expressing their unified experience of a week-long exploration of a just peace.

Their commitment is to navigate a path forward in implementing what they have discussed and discovered, as they return to their homes and churches across the world.

The message states: “With partners of other faiths, we have recognized that peace is a core value in all religions, and the promise of peace extends to all people regardless of their traditions and commitments. Through intensified interreligious dialogue we seek common ground with all world religions.”
