Join Now in the #Global Prayer for

Community Peace

  • As the interfaith community is filled with the spirit of Easter and Passover, there are so many hardships around the world in need of our loving prayers, attention, and action. Please join in now by participating in the Virtual Global Prayer for Community Peace brought to us by our friends with the the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council
  • Please visit us on Facebook or Twitter and Share your Photos and Messages of Hope. 
  • Use the hashtag #LoveAlert to spread interfaith goodness around the world with these words:
We come together in prayer to acknowledge 
the Source of comfort in suffering, 
who forever summons
our human community to 
justice, peace and forgiveness.

While we may stand today in the shadow 
of ignorance and violence,
finding our way through hatred, fear, and blind rage, 
we know we are not alone.

We extend our loving compassion to all life 
throughout the world
so that the memory of those lost 
may be a blessing to us forever.

Almighty Love, you call upon us 
to love one another,
and to bring mercy to those 
burdened with sorrow and grief.
You have created us for community, 
diverse according to your will,
so that we can only be whole together.

Do not let our anger divide us now from one another,
or turn us aside from our abiding purpose.
Rather, let every heart be filled a bright reflection 
of your everlasting love.
Let every heart that lifts this prayer to you today,
by whatever name it calls upon you, 
be filled with divine peace.

As we pray this prayer, make these words your own:
In word, spirit and deed I honor you. 
Your presence is a blessing, 
your commitment inspiring.
From this moment forward, 
I carry my intention to know and be known, 
finding peace within 
so that I might create peace without. 

And so it is.

 

The Parliament and URI Issue a Joint #LoveAlert for Holy Weekend 

We, the global interfaith community, cherish the principle of shared humanity and champion the Golden Rule as the guiding principle of each of the world's great spiritual and religious communities. We unite as neighbors in our call for harmony, compassion, and peaceful relationships everywhere. Sunday's tragic hate shootings in the Kansas City area urgently signal why interfaith cooperation must become stronger to ensure all people are exposed to the beautiful lessons we learn from each other in diverse communities. We invite all people to join with the United Religions Initiative (URI) and the Parliament of the World's Religions in coming together to amplify action for peace. Read more....
