Comment from UTT:

While Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury is calling for a common bond between Muslims and "Christians", King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, a Muslim, is calling for Christians, Jews and Muslims to embrace a "spirit of reconciliation."

History is in the making as a move towards one world religion unfolds before us daily in the news. Look to the pope (head of Roman Catholic Church) to be the one who will be able to tie all the strings together.

July 16 - Saudi king opens Spain interfaith conference with call for unity

Article: One World Religion

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia exhorted followers of the world's leading faiths to turn away from extremism and embrace a spirit of reconciliation, saying at the start of an interfaith conference Wednesday that history's great conflicts were not caused by religion itself but by its misinterpretation.

"My brothers, we must tell the world that differences don't need to lead to disputes," Abdullah said, speaking through a Spanish interpreter. "The tragedies we have experienced throughout history were not the fault of religion but because of the extremism that has been adopted by some followers of all the religions, and of all political systems."

Abdullah's comments came at the start of a Saudi-sponsored gathering that aims to bring Muslims, Christians and Jews closer together at a time when the world often puts the three faiths at odds.

Spanish King Juan Carlos also addressed the gathering at a ceremonial palace on the outskirts of Madrid, saying he hoped the conference would be successful.
