The first Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) message to achieve world peace through uniting religions took place at the World Alliance of Religions for Peace (WARP) Summit in South Korea in September 2014. There, host Mr. Man Hee Lee said, “Since 80 percent of wars in the world are religiously motivated, interfaith harmony is the necessary factor in the achievement of world peace; and in order to unite all religions, religious leaders need to compare and contrast each scripture.”

HWPL hosted the latest WARP Office event at the Bronte Hotel in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare on Thursday (March 31st).

Speakers included Janita Hargoven, representing Brahma Kumaris; Paradza Kudyakwenzara, representing Christian Science; David Mangemba of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches; and Father Fradereck Chiromba, Secretary General of the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference.

Janita Hargoven showed confidence in achieving peace through contrasting and comparing religious scripture, saying: “We have come to understand that they [religions] are one and the same [through the WARP Office].”

Parada Kudyakwenzara added, “We all love peace and I think it is possible to bring religions together by contrasting scripture as we shared with my colleagues.” He continued by saying that he had never before seen an organization [like HWPL] bring diverse religions together.

Recent terrorist attacks across five continents should remind all of us of the urgency for peace and religious harmony, it is imperative that all religious leaders take part in this work to cease all wars and achieve the ultimate goal of humanity, world peace.

At present, HWPL is holding approximately 142 WARP Offices in 70 countries every month, promoting true interfaith harmony and peace. Moreover, on March 14th in Seoul, South Korea, HWPL held a Proclamation Ceremony of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation, attracting attention from politicians, legal experts and global media.
