It may seem unusual that an interfaith conference be held in the context of a larger cultural festival, particularly one that features a large international wedding ceremony. World peace is one way of describing the vision that underlies all religions. We might also say that in every human heart there is a desire and longing for world peace.
Peace is a multi-dimensional reality.
In order for there to be world peace, there must be peace at all levels of being, at the individual level, the family level, the social level, the national level and the worldwide level. Too often, political and military conflicts are supported by inter- religious hostility. This situation makes interfaith activity imperative. Interfaith activity should not be conceived as either subordinate or unrelated to the faithful observance of the teachings of a particular religion. In so far as any given religion espouses the ideal of world peace, believers should actively pursue interfaith harmony and peace.
