UNITED NATIONS, 8 October 2006 (BWNS) — Last month some 33 governments sent delegations to a special conference here on how religions and governments can work together for peace.
"The international community must commit to sustainable resource
management policies that place the needs of the human family and protection
of the environment above commercial and industrial concerns, the
Vatican's representative to the United Nations told a May 11 session of
the U.N. Economic and Social Council’s Commission on Sustainable
Development."
The latest in our series on various interfaith groups around the world brings us the Comfort Cooperation Circle in Luanda, Angola, who has been doing wonderful work with Leprosy and HIV/AIDS patients in particular.
Reacting to religious fanaticism and the challenges of advancing and sustaining a more equitable civilization, a global interfaith movement has sprung from the grassroots of religion and spirituality. InterfaithNews.Net (INN) seeks to chronicle this movement by focusing primarily on positive interfaith and religious news, events, and resources.
InterfaithNews.Net is presented in partnership with the United Religions Initiative.
