Working for interfaith harmony happens every day by URI Cooperation Circles all over the world. World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW), the first week of every February, is a special time to celebrate and make real the vision of interfaith harmony for all. Enjoy these inspirations for WIHW.
Inspiration for WIHW: The URI Preamble
We, people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions and Indigenous traditions throughout the world, hereby establish the United Religions Initiative to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, end religiously motivated violence, and create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.
This is the opening of the URI Preamble. Read the full Preamble, Purpose and Principles.
“Interfaith is not about religions being the same. Interfaith is about understanding our differences, recognizing our similarities and working together for peace and justice in our world.”
- Victor Kazanjian, former URI Executive Director
