Joint Statement of Peace

I stand for Peace in the presence of conflict. 
I stand for Love in the presence of hatred and fear. 
I stand for Forgiveness in the presence of injury. 
I honor the many names for God, the many paths to God;
for I know there is only one power and presence of God
and God loves each one of us equally.  I urge all nations,
their leaders, and their people to turn to God,
 by whatever name, for guidance during these challenging times
and to pursue peace, for peace honors the God of all faiths. 
I stand for Peace in my lifetime.
