Our world continues to be beset by conflict and intolerance with rising number of refugees and the internally displaced persons in a hostile and unwelcoming world. Sadly, we are also witnessing actions and messages of hate spreading discord among people. The need for spiritual guidance has never been greater. It is imperative that we escalate efforts to spread the message of love and harmony based on our common humanity, a message shared by all faith traditions.
Thus, our theme for the observance of the Interfaith Harmony Week for 2019 is, “The Path to Sustainable Development through Interfaith Harmony, with five sub themes about interfaith leaders addressing: eradicating poverty, empowering women and girls, achieving health for all, disaster recovery, and peace.
