The following statement was prepared and signed by ten  Chicago community
business, educational and religious leaders under the auspices of the Council
for a Parliament of the World's Religions. This statement is a plea for an
immediate halt to interreligious violence in India and elsewhere. Here
follows the text and then the names of the persons who signed the statement:
"We have watched with horror the violence exploding in India and elsewhere.
The human family must not be divided by religious intolerance and hatred.
Violence in the name of religion is an offense against the spirit. Our faiths
preach peace, not hatred. We are united in our conviction that this violence
must immediately cease, and we call for a commitment in every community to
dialogue, respect, and cooperation. We pray together for peace. May we all
move from darkness to light, from ignorance to understanding, from death to
life." DATE: Dec. 11, 1992. CONTACT PERSON: CHER GUPTA, Council for a
Parliament of the World's Religions. TELE (312) 629-2990.
