A “growing global community dedicated to promoting enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, ending religiously motivated violence and creating cultures of peace” sounds like just the kind of initiative that our world needs today. It’s the first line of the United Religions Initiative (URI) Charter, a continually growing and expanding group around the globe. The Euphrates Institute recently qualified to join URI as a Cooperation Circle. Euphrates is thrilled to help promote the goals of URI, and especially to represent such an important segment of the Midwest population in this international community.
Read our first joint Press Release in support of Midwest Muslims during this wave of Islamophobia.
Euphrates’ mission to “improve relations between the Middle East and West by providing educational, cultural and interpersonal dialogue and programming which focuses on what unites us rather than divides us” along with the goal to “build a movement of North Americans who are better informed about the Middle East and the common ground that exists between the three Abrahamic monotheistic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam” dovetail perfectly with the peacebuilding arm of URI.
