This category is about unity in diversity: We stand for religious tolerance and against all kind of discrimination, whether based on religion, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or whatsoever.
Therefore we offer affirming lgbt-resources, but also interfaith resources, and initiatives for world peace.
As human race we share this one planet, our beloved Sister Mother Earth, as St. Francis said in his Canticle of the Sun, and we share it also with our younger brethren, the animals, so we are dealing here with these questions too.
So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1850-1919; An excerpt from the poem "The World's Need" from Poems of Power published in 1901

Be ours a religion which,
like sunshine, goes everywhere;
its temple, all space;
its shrine, the good heart;
its creed, all truth;
its ritual, works of love;
its profession of faith,
divine living.
- Theodore Parker
Never quarrel about religion. All quarrels and disputations concerning religion simply show that spirituality is not present. Religious quarrels are always over the husks. When purity, when spirituality goes, leaving the soul dry, quarrels begin, and not before.

"Living in harmony with each other does not mean having to let yourself be absorbed by the collectivity. No, you are distinct as an individual, but while preserving your own individuality you have to create unity, work for unity. Look at the cells of the body: they are not identical; they do not fulfil the same functions – a heart cell is not a stomach cell. They each keep their individuality, but their affinities, the links between them, create the state of harmony known as health. Is that so difficult to understand?
You wouldn’t ask a black person to become white, a Muslim or a Buddhist to become a Christian. In the past, Christians sent out missionaries to convert everyone on the planet, and what violence they often had to use to achieve this! All humans must keep what is particular to them, their differences, while at the same time establishing links with each other, allowing them to form a whole in the divine world." Omraam Mikhaël Aivanhov
Beads on One String
By Dennis Warner
We're all Beads on One String,
Every man, every woman, boy and girl.
Beads on One String,
We're one world.
I touch, you touch,
We feel so much.
We hurt and we heal,
We know love is real.
You dream, well I dream.
We plan, sometimes scheme.
Oh how we love to eat,
And everyone has to sleep.
We're all Beads on One String,
Every man, every woman, boy and girl.
Beads on one string,
We're one world.
You laugh, you cry,
Guess what? So do I.
We trust, we give,
We die, after we've lived.
We win, sometimes we're gonna lose.
We're wearing the same shoes.
We're Beads on One String,
Every man, every woman, boy and girl.
Beads on One String,
We're one world.
We hug, we need,
We cut, we bleed.
Somehow we discover,
We're so much like each other.
We're all Beads on One String,
Every man, every woman, boy and girl.
Beads on One String,
We're One World…
We're One World.

"How do most people view animals and behave towards them? The way they exploit certain species is really disgusting. They will not shrink from any kind of cruelty to obtain their flesh, their fur, their hide, their horns or any other part of their body.
But humans are doomed to pay a very high price for their cruelty to animals. The causes of wars may appear to be only political, economic and so on, but in fact they are also the consequence of all the slaughtering of animals that humans are guilty of. The law of justice, which is implacable, forces them to pay with their own blood for the blood they have shed through killing animals. How many millions of gallons of blood shed on earth cry out for vengeance from heaven! And as this blood turns to vapour it attracts a multitude of larvae and lower entities from the astral world, poisoning the earth's atmosphere and perpetuating conflicts. Humans want peace, or so they say, but so long as they continue to slaughter animals they will have war. This is a truth that is not known and may not be accepted. But not accepting it will not change anything: humans will be treated the way they treat animals. "
