Groups work for world peace
With all the violence and fighting that pervades the media, it can be difficult to imagine that anyone cares about the cause of world peace anymore. Rather than coming together to celebrate common humanity, it seems that people are more interested in exploiting their differences to tear each other apart.
However, this is not necessarily the case. Ilchi Lee has organized many conferences to discuss with political and spiritual leaders from around the world ways to encourage greater peace, love and respect.
For example, in June of 2001 Ilchi Lee hosted the first World Peace Humanity Conference. More than 12,000 individuals from around the world came to the event to discuss ways to further the cause of peace. The meeting also resulted in the ratification of the Declaration of Peace, a document that lays out the rights and responsibilities of true Earth Citizens.
Former Vice President Al Gore, former editor of the New York Times Seymour Topping and civil rights activist Reverend Wyatt Tee Walker all attended the event.
While the media may play up instances of violence and destruction, individuals can feel assured that organizations are working to further the cause of world peace.
