PEACE COUNCIL

The Peace Council is a diverse group of religious and spiritual individuals who are internationally known and respected and who have decided to come together, as the Dalai Lama wrote in a recent letter, "to understand one another and work together so that those of us who profess belief in our respective faiths can work for the common cause of humanity." He added, "I believe that such a joint effort can set the right example for the rest of the world."... The Peace Council is a group of internationally respected religious persons from many faiths working together in practical ways for peace and for the common needs of the whole community of life. They build bridges by the example of non-violence, compassion, human rights, and universal responsibility, individual and collective... The Peace Council began in 1995 with twelve members. It has grown since and may eventually include twenty to thirty members. A current list of Peace Councilors is available elsewhere on this web site.
