What they do

RELIGIONS for PEACE (RFP) ADVANCES COMMON ACTION AMONG THE WORLDS RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES for PEACE. MULTI-RELIGIOUS COOPERATION for PEACE and SHARED WELL-BEING is THE HALLMARK of RFP. THIS COOPERATION INCLUDES BUT ALSO GOES BEYOND DIALOGUE and BEARS FRUIT IN COMMON CONCRETE ACTION. THROUGH RFP, DIVERSE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES DISCERN "DEEPLY HELD and WIDELY SHARED" MORAL CONCERNS, SUCH AS VIOLENT CONFLICT; GENDER INEQUALITY; ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION; THREATS to THE FREEDOM of THOUGHT, CONSCIENCE and RELIGION; LACK of INTERRELIGIOUS UNDERSTANDING; and THE SHRINKING SPACE for CIVIL SOCIETY and MULTILATERALISM. RFP TRANSLATES THESE SHARED CONCERNS INTO CONCRETE MULTI-RELIGIOUS ACTION.
