Adeboye Meets Israeli Leaders, Seeks Worldpeace by pingu2k5(m): 12:00pm On Sep 04, 2011 |
WORRIED by continued uncertainty in the Middle East, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, held two separate meetings with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, last weekend, where he called for a global enforcement of the United Nations resolutions on the advancement of peace. Speaking with Peres during the meeting, which was co-ordinated by an arm of the church, Christ Redeemer Friends Trust (CRFT) based in London, Adeboye, stated that a global adoption of the UN resolutions on the culture of peace would serve as the foundation for the peace process in the Middle East and in all conflict areas. CRFT is a group of professionals from the Redeemed Christian Church of God parishes worldwide with concern for global peace, reconciliation and advocacy and works to protect and save lives by supporting communities in emergencies and crises. Adeboye, at the meetings with both leaders, said: “A culture of peace is a way to live together. It requires non-violence, tolerance and solidarity whilst acknowledging and respecting a variety of traditions. I have here a list of the numerous UN resolutions on the culture of peace which we believe need to be accepted by the international community, especially the Quartet as the foundation for the peace process in the Middle East and in all areas of conflict”. Describing the incessant crisis in the Middle East as one that transcends politics, but also a challenge on academic and religious leaders, the pastor maintained: “The Middle East conflict is not only about politics—it is also about religious and moral values. The only way to solve it is through education for a culture of peace among all sides to the conflict. This is the challenge for religious leaders, academics and political leaders on all sides of the conflict.” Adeboye had on June 20, hosted a summit meeting of religious leaders at the UN to present an initiative that would give religions, academics and parliamentarians a voice in the UN. Sponsored by the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Global Ethics and co-sponsored by the Mission of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the UN and CRFT, with the patronage of former Director- General of UNESCO, Frederico Mayor, who introduced the “culture of peace” at the UN, the summit brought together leaders in the Abrahamic faith groups, to an international mini |

"While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape." - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 I am for world peace but not at the expense of Truth. It is very apparent that the majority of the world do not abide in the doctrine of Christ , and therefore as far as Muslims keep following false prophet Muhammad, Buddhists keep following Buddha and Hindus keep following their over a million gods , and of course the Atheist continue in their folly , World peace will NEVER be achieved. But the good news brethren is that the day is coming when we shall dwell in a new Heaven and new Earth wherein dwells righteousness ( Not virgins and milk as promised in Islam ) and peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost. Then there shall be absolute peace, for the wicked with their leader SATAN shall be removed from the presence of God for ever, Amen. |

frosbel: True ,there Cant be real peace until the whole world embrace the PRINCE OF PEACE. Every discussion for peace is a temporal treatment of symptoms but it won't kill the virus. |
