Role of religion in creating peace discussed at weekend meeting

Posted by Ian Proctor on Oct 28, 09 01:22 PM in

WHAT role does religion and ethics have in creating peace between families, communities and nations?
That was the central question at a gathering held at Harrow High School in Gayton Road, Harrow, on Sunday (25/10) by Faith In Peace.
The keynote speaker was Pinner resident and former hostage Professor Norman Kember, who spoke about "The limits of violence and non-violence", in which he put forward the idea that violence creates more problems than it solves and that ultimately solutions can only be found through dialogue between conflicting parties.
The meeting included a discussion on the main theme as well as prayers for peace and reconciliation from representatives of the Buddhist, Christian, Jain, Jewish,Muslim, Hindu and Sikh religions.
