“The true teaching of each religion is a message of peace, unity and love…The sacred heritage of the great faiths is a rich resource for all people in the search for a more fair and harmonious world…The first step in ending religious hostility is to dispel prejudice and ignorance by teaching about the religious beliefs and practices of other people and by providing opportunities for members of different religions, especially young people, to meet and get to know each other. Only then can religions unite in service.”
