ABOUT US
Our Mission
is to encourage individuals to develop
an open mind and an open heart toward their follow beings. If we
can learn to accept and respect the God given uniqueness of each
one of the 7 billion of us, then conflicts fade and solutions
emerge. We believe that knowledge leads to understanding and
understanding to acceptance and appreciation of a different point
of view.
A few Organizations are doing great service to humanity on a global
scale, in bringing freedom to mankind by facilitating an
open mind and an open heart toward their fellow beings.
The
following individuals are doing their share of working
for a better world and have opened their hearts and
minds towards their fellow beings. Even though we
may speak out against extremism, it would be their acts
not them. Our approach is with malice towards none, as
Abraham Lincoln had once said.

Our humble prayer;
-
Dear God, bless us with an open mind and an open
heart toward fellow humans.
-
Dear
God, help us remove the
arrogance and ignorance so that love of our own faith
does not become a basis for prejudice toward others.
-
Dear God, help us respect everyone's way of
worshipping and honoring you, and
-
Dear God, help us
with compassion and fairness, two of your primary
attributes, toward fellow humans.
We welcome individuals who earnestly believe and would
like to share the principles of pluralism with their
