<< Test First Name >>,

We are delighted that Elijah will have a significant presence at the forthcoming Parliament of World Religions. We will be presenting the Religious Genius project in 2 sessions and will have 2 stalls alongside each other, one describing our scholarly work and the other focusing on the vision of HOPE.

Our objective is to grow the Elijah community. To that end, we have composed a declaration of the principles for which we stand and we will be inviting members of the public to sign on.

Of course, we hope that our first signatories will be members of the Board of World Religious Leaders. Below, please find the declaration. If you express no objection to having your name associated with it, you will appear as a signatory when it is released at the Parliament on October 15th.

Thank you in advance for your ongoing support.

The Elijah Principles of Faith

• We believe that the great religions of the world can be powerful forces for peace.
• We believe that the world’s great religions are the receptacles of deep and ancient wisdom that can benefit today’s humanity.
• We believe that sharing the wisdom of the world’s religions can be a way to foster mutual respect and friendship between people of different faiths.
• We believe that we are all enriched by sharing the wisdom of the great religious traditions – that learning about the religious Other helps us better understand our own faith.
• We believe that the greatest role-models of each religious tradition, the ‘religious geniuses’, can inspire and transform all people of all faiths and have important messages for all of us.
• We believe in the power of prayer and that people of different faiths praying side-by-side is a way of changing the world. It is more than a symbol; it is a joining of spiritual forces.
• We believe that Jerusalem (Al-Quds) is a sacred city with the potential to become a haven of peace and a symbol of peace. We believe that the words of the prophets will be fulfilled, with Jerusalem becoming a “house of prayer” for all of humanity.

Yours sincerely,
Peta Jones Pellach,
