The Global Peace Tour 2009 promotes a platform of interfaith, family, and service for the sake of renewing our communities and nations. With the vision of “One Family Under God,” we are spreading a new paradigm of leadership rooted in universal spiritual and moral principles, values, and aspirations.
We are working for United Nations renewal by promoting the establishment of an interreligious council at the United Nations, an understanding of human rights as “endowed by our Creator,” and multisectoral partnerships for the advancement the Millennium Development Goals. People of all faiths are invited to come together in a spirit of mutual appreciation to resolve conflicts, promote God-centered marriages and families, and spread a global culture of service.
