Peace Islands Institute New York

Our differences may at times define us, but they need not divide us. At all times, and in all places, let our common goals unite us.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?

-Rumi

It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

-Rumi

Interfaith dialogue does not aim to change the ideas of people about their religions or faiths, but seeks to find common ground between religions, to focus on communities, and through an emphasis on harmony and peace, find solutions to many of our common problems.
