Lighting the Way to Interfaith Peace

While peace in the modern world has never been easy, intuitive, or inevitable, the 13 major religions of the world all include The Golden Rule. Pope Francis calls us to banish interfaith violence and work toward peace. “All of us want peace. Many people build it day by day through small gestures and acts; many of them are suffering, yet patiently persevere in their efforts to be peacemakers” (Regina Coeli).

How can we work to be peacemakers? Author Carole St. Laurent provides background on the half-century of work by the Parliament of the World’s Religions, and provides concrete ways we can strengthen interfaith peace in our daily lives.
