Religions for Peace Calls for Global Solidarity for the Dignity of All People

The human dignity we share calls on us to grieve with those affected by any ideology of hate or prejudice, and any act of violence. Religions for Peace (RfP) continues its five decades of work for a world where such ideologies and attacks are unthinkable and where all institutions and people of faith and of no faith, can come together to live with mercy, compassion and love, and to stand in solidarity against any word, thought or act of hate against anyone.

RfP therefore condemns the attack on a Hanukkah celebration at a Rabbi’s home north of New York City, as it condemns the recent bombing of university students in Somalia. RfP condemns all acts of hate and violence, including recent attacks in Nigeria, Syria, Burkina Faso and Texas, USA.

We call upon all people of goodwill to show courageous leadership and gratitude for the power of love and respect, and endeavor to share these more intentionally and deliberately to shape a world that actively strives towards inclusive and just peace which leaves no one behind.
