The Missing Peace by Les Carter Phd
Six women (two Muslims, two Jews, and two Christians) look at the widening polarization of religions today and how violence towards others binds people around the world in deepening fear and grief.
They present a bold strategy for achieving peace--personally, interpersonally, and globally. Their strategy is pragmatic and visionary: it honors diverse systems of belief and common dreams of peace, and it starts with reclaiming religion from those who assert that their way is the only way.
They say:
America's hubris is very dangerous--this claim that we are defending Christianity and that God is on our side. Where are we heading?
Peace is at the heart of any true spiritual path. The peace that is intrinsic to Islam is based on a recognition of the divinity of the other.
Men have used religion to justify taking us into war; and yet at their core, Christinaity, Islam, and Judaism all speak of making peace in the World.
.if we're truly children of God, then we are all brothers and sisters, and God seeks peace for us all.
Can we see that even though our intention may be very good, we may, indeed, have committed acts of injustice against others?
You have to make a more peaceful world where people have similar access to world resources and power because when we don't share, we make many people suffer.
