Killing people in the name of “god” has to stop. It is for this reason that world religious leaders, politicians and scientists have been meeting in large gatherings for the last two decades attempting to come up with a solution.

Let’s look at a brief review of recent global meetings for peace. There was the “Summit for Peace in Assisi” in October of 1986. Two years later in Oxford, England a similar gathering occurred. Then in August of 2000, the General Assembly hall of the United Nations in New York City became a sanctuary for leaders of the world’s religions to discuss the threat of global terrorism.

One year and one month later an event happened in the very same city – 9-1-1. It was this water-shed event that triggered the need for a global peace plan. In January of 2002, Pope John Paul II gathered representatives from numerous religions and denominations of Christianity to gather and pray for peace - once more in Assisi.

It seems as if the script has been written. Religious strife requires a religious solution headed up by some spiritual leader. Peace is imperative if our planet is to survive.
