Peace+Organisations

[|Middle East peace talks back on.]

"We want peace; we want an end to terror, we are prepared to make compromises even though they are filled with risks."

[|A Common Word]

[|Ekklesia: A new way of thinking] "We not only want to work for peace in Iraq, but in the whole world!"

[|Common Ground Between Islam and Christianity]

On Friday, which was the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Fitr, a letter from 138 international Muslim leaders was sent to more than two dozen Christian leaders. The 15-page letter, plus another 10 pages or so of footnotes, "A Common Word Between Us and You," sets out two principles the two faiths have in common. Using numerous citations from the Qur'an and the Bible, the document makes the case that the two faiths share love of God and love of neighbor and that they need not be opposed to each other.

[|Network of Christian Peace Organisations]

NCPO is a broad group of organisations in the Christian peace tradition committed to furthering peace and encouraging our churches to support the peace movement.
