World Interfaith Network
(Formerly California Interfaith Association)
“Connecting Interfaith Groups and People
Around the World”
An Interfaith Expression of Harmony
Began in Southern San Diego County, then North through California, then throughout the United States and now, THE WORLD!”
Our Mission Statement
We honor and respect all faiths, cultures, creeds, and races
and seek to learn from those who believe equal spiritual
opportunity and human rights belong to every person.
Visions of Hope and Love
Unity
“As believers we all have the opportunity and moral obligation to recognize our spiritual common ground; to rise above our differences; to combat prejudice and intolerance.”
Queen Noor of Jordon
Kinship
“We have flown in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fishes, but we have yet to learn the simple act of walking the Earth like brothers”
Martin Luther King JR.
Wisdom
“Like the bee gathering honey from different flowers, the wise person accepts the essence of the different scriptures, and sees only the good in all religions.”
Gandhi
Oneness
“We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.”
Kofi Annan
Sameness
“All religions — all this singing is one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this one, but it is still one light.”
Rumi
Compassion
“All religions are designed to teach us how to live joyfully, serenely, and kindly, in the midst of suffering.”
Karen Armstrong
Blessings
“All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.”
Desmond Tutu
Peace
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Mother Teresa
Tolerance
“Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.”
John F. Kennedy
Non-Judgement
“Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot,
fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.”
Swami Vivekananda
