SHARED SACRED FLOURISHING
Re-centering the Sacred in Today’s World
Shared Sacred Flourishing is our vision for re-centering the sacred in today’s world.
By recognizing shared sacred values such as love, compassion, and justice, we make space for multifaith collaboration, allowing us to address global challenges and promote human dignity.
We recognize the divine in all people and the planet – individual flourishing is interconnected with the welfare of the community and the earth.
A guiding framework that has arisen from past Religions for Peace World Assemblies, Shared Sacred Flourishing opens possibilities for the full unfolding of human potential – thriving, not surviving.
Six Key Priorities
Peaceful, Just, and Inclusive Societies
Our faith traditions inspire us to be changemakers where conflict, mass displacement, poverty, violent extremism and inequality call for common action.
Gender Equality
Equality for women and girls is a foundation for securing a more peaceful and inclusive world for all people.
The Environment
Recognising the intimate connection between all forms of life and communities, we are committed to nurturing a sustainable environment.
Freedom of Thought, Conscience, and Religion
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. We bring faith communities together to champion this right for all.
Interreligious Education
Understanding diverse traditions is vital to increasing trust, respect, and cooperation among all people and faiths.
Global Partnerships
Strong partnerships with governments, civil society, and faith-based organisations ensures that our work is effective and leaves no one behind.
Women are the peacebuilders our world needs. Religions for Peace empowers and equips women and girls to take on pivotal roles in peacebuilding, fostering development, and advancing universal human rights.
