  World Interfaith Harmony Week is devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, within and among all nations and peoples. Harmony Week is a community celebration, harmony makes small things grow, and lack of it makes great things decay. This celebration is an opportunity to learn about how cultures around the world live and many children find it fascinating to learn about this. World Interfaith Harmony Week encourages grassroots events that link people together in a global wave of understanding, respect, and action. It is a call for religious leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious Commandments; Love of God, and Love of our Neighbor, without nevertheless compromising any religious tenets. World Interfaith Harmony Celebration provides a platform one week in a year when all interfaith groups and other groups of goodwill can show the world what a powerful movement they are. At the core of all the faith systems and traditions is the recognition that we are all in this together and that we need to love and support one another to live in harmony and peace in an environmentally sustainable world. Our world continues to be beset by conflict and intolerance with the rising number of refugees and the internally displaced in a hostile and unwelcoming world around them. We are also unfortunately witnessing messages of hate spreading discord among people. The need for spiritual guidance has never been greater. We must double our efforts to spread the message of good neighborliness based on our common humanity.
