A Message
By Hans Kung
President of the Global Ethic Foundation
A member of group of
eminent persons for UN Year of Dialogue among Civilizations |
The world needs a vision of peace, not of war:
There will be no peace among
the nations without peace among the religions.
There will be no peace among
the religions without dialogue among the religions.
There will be no
dialogue among the religions without global ethical standards.
There will
therefore be no survival of this globe without a global ethic.
