Sharing in the vision of the URI, Kalinaw (meaning "peace" in the Cebuano language) CC members deepen their knowledge and understanding of the various faiths through rituals and celebrations and by promoting health and and well-being with spiritual awareness. With regular monthly meetings, the CC engages in advocacy work for environmental concerns and establishes relationships with other organizations and like-minded faith groups. The CC also organizes interfaith concerts, like the Celebration of Life and International Day of Peace celebrations at the University of Cebu campus, and promotes Peace and Good Citizenship Month which started in September 2009. The CC also focuses on gender empowerment, poverty alleviation, values education, livelihood program and participative governance. Together with the local government, Kalinaw CC launched an Interfaith Sector in Cebu, and collaborated with the Office of Muslim Affairs on different programs like the Koran Reading Contest, etc.

We were established in 1999 at a meeting of members from the various religions present in Karachi City. Allama Abulfateh G.R. Chisti presided over this meeting. Muslims, Christians and Hindus were the first members of this group; later, its branches were extended to all five provinces of the city (East, West, Centre, South and Malir) through which Sikhs, Theosophists and Zoroastrians also joined. We actively work to establish religious peace and tolerance among the different sects of a religion. Members get together every three months. To achieve URI's purpose, they organize and participate in inter-religious functions to promote tolerance and daily interfaith cooperation.
