Interfaith based on finding our common ground

At the Global Peace Convention 2013 in Malaysia, the main theme was interfaith collaboration. On reading this blog post about Father Varghese, a Catholic priest from India, and his speech, I reflected on GPF's unique interfaith approach.

Father Varghese said we have become consumed with the outward practices and rituals of each religion while ignoring the fundamental values and principles that bind us together.

I agree with this approach to peace-building that resigns self-promotion to recognize the vast common ground and purpose we share.
