UN Decade for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, Understanding, and Cooperation for Peace

Thanks to Sister DeSales for sharing some of the JPIC news from Rome. This comes from the USG/UISG Secretariat, Commission for Peace, Justice, and the Integrity of Creation:

A proposal has been developed to work toward having the United Nations declare 2010-2020 a "UN Decade for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, Understanding and Cooperation for Peace." The USG and UISG formally support this initiative and have joined the coalition. Individual religious institutes are encouraged to support and join this coalition. An updated short version of the draft proposal developed in Geneva in January 2008 plus information on this initiative -- including supportive religious leaders and organizations -- can be found at http://www.faithdecadeforpeace.net
