ABSTRACT
The Third Assembly of the World Conference on Religion and Peace (WCRP III), meeting at Princeton in 1979, is the continuation of an important heritage. The first WCRP III at Kyoto in 1970, and the second at Louvain in 1974, revealed on the international level a basic unity of purpose and goal amid diversities of religious belief, and widened the pathway of interreligious cooperation for peace. The resources of all religions are needed to cultivate respect for the natural world in which we live, conservation of its resources, and a style of human life that is in harmony with all of nature. Human dignity is a major theme in the teachings of all religions. But gross injustices deny dignity, and even the right of survival, to many. World community, built on love, freedom, justice, and truth, is another name for peace.
