Interfaith Strategy in 2019:

Initiate the Third Congress of World Religions o­n the theme "Harmonious Interfaith Education through Gandhi's Nonviolence" in October/November 2019 under the auspices of the UN and UNESCO in honor of the Gandhi anniversary in Amman. This will be a logical development of the initiative of the King of Jordan Abdullah II at the UN in 2010 Interfaith Harmony Week. The GHA first formulated and prepared this initiative in 2012/3 in relevant two projects of interfaith harmony with the participation of 14 confessions from 22 countries:

Culmination. World Jubilee Religious Congress in Delhi, in the Lotus Temple: "Interfaith Harmony of Gandhi Nonviolence" - September, 2019.

This is a GC call for all world religious confessions, for the UN, UNESCO and all believers in accordance with Mahatma Gandhi's covenants o­n religion and faith.

 

Gandhi about nonviolence, religion and faith

 

“Nonviolence [harmony, peace] is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Nonviolence is not the inheritance of cowardice, it is always heroism. Nonviolence is the law of our life.

 

“This religion transcends Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc. It does not supersede them. It harmonises them and gives them reality.”

 

“All religions are different paths converging o­n o­ne goal. Everything is based o­n the same moral laws. My ethical religion consists of laws uniting all people in the world.”
