World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit Sketch

There was a precise news about World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit (WARP) 
at www.newsworld.co.kr










On September 17-19, the World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit (WARP)
was held at Jamsil Olympic Stadium and the 63 Convention Center in Seoul,
Korea, hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light
(HWPL). More than 2,000 religious and political leaders from all around the
world attended.










The summit began with the opening remarks from Man Hee Lee, the chairman of HWPL, saying how mothers have sacrificed everything for their children throughout history. He pointed to the fact that no political action can compensate for the sacrifice and the loss
when a life is lost at war. Then, he called for the legislation of international laws to bring an end to all wars and invited political leaders to sign a peace agreement for world peace.









Lee has been traveled all over the world over the past two years where he had met with
incumbent and former heads of states to discuss measures for world peace. During his world tour, Lee has proposed a peace agreement and a provision in international laws to end wars. “Isn’t that the right way to end all wars?” And the World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit (WARP) is the fruit of his passion.




Nam Hee Kim, chairwoman of IWPG said that women said that the best way to bring peace to all mankind, only made possible by the help of God. Many of world leaders have been making efforts to bring peace to the world. Now, we should become also light for peace
to make this light more powerful.











On the second day of the summit, religious leaders signed Peace Agreement at World Alliance of Religions.







Peace Summit The agreement stated that religious leaders must unite religions as one under the creator in order to bring all wars to an end and leave world peace as a legacy for future generations. While signing the peace agreement, the religious leaders pledged their commitment to world peace in front of all the guests.








Leaders of Catholic, Sheik Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, Episcopalian and Jewish Churches also
delivered speeches on conflicts and peace.





“Time over time, religion has been used for personal interests, and this often caused conflict,” said Silajdzic, Former president of Bosnia-Herzegovina. He added that the peace summit will not be in vain if all the attendees can keep their children from being
involved in war.





The Hindu representative C. Maharaj, a Mahatma Gandhi Humanitarian Award winner and this year’s “Man of India” said: “we are gathered here, the same as UN does. I am very glad that I could come despite many emails saying to me not to participate in this Summit. But
your passion for peace made me so happy, and I am moved very much.” He also emphasized that our actions can bring change.





Tawakkol Karman, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner to date gave the last keynote speech. She said: “we should not talk about conflicts between the religions, but between religious people. People who abuse religion for the sake of their own interests, and groups of people who interpret the religion as they want are the problems.”





Lee, chairman of HWPL said in his speech that all religions should be united as one and that one’s faith must be proven by actions to show its true value. “Everyone has a choice between peace and war”, he said. “If we are united as one, we can prevent wars and create a peaceful world that we can pass on to the next generation.” He pointed out once
again that difference in beliefs has often been the cause of wars and that it is because the corruption in religions. He called upon religious communities to unite as one in order
to end all wars caused by religious differences.
