Religious strife, throughout
history, has been the cause of innumerable wars and conflicts, a major
blight to progress, and is increasingly abhorrent to the people of all
faiths and no faith. Followers of all religions must be willing to face
the basic questions which this strife raises, and to arrive at clear answers.
How are the differences between them to be resolved, both in theory and
in practice? The challenge facing the religious leaders of mankind is
to contemplate, with hearts filled with the spirit of compassion and a
desire for truth, the plight of humanity, and to ask themselves whether
they cannot, in humility before their Almighty Creator, submerge their
theological differences in a great spirit of mutual forbearance that will
enable them to work together for the advancement of human understanding
and peace.

of The Universal House of Justice, 1985 Oct, The
Promise of World Peace, p. 3)
