United Nations, NY. Deborah
Moldow reports that the World Peace Prayer Society and the United Religions
Initiative hosted a most successful midday workshop on “The Ethical and
Spiritual Response to Climate Change” at the annual UN DPI/NGO Conference lseptember 7, 2007.
The wonderful panel speakers were from four different faith traditions, and
included the head of the NY office of the UN Environment Programme. We began
with gratitude to nature and “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” and ended with a gentleman
representing an NGO who came up to me to say, “I just want to thank you. This
workshop was the heart of the whole conference.”
 The URI
was well represented at the workshop by UN Representative Monica Willard, Diane
Williams of URI-UN, Laurence Singer of Global Family for Love and Peace CC, and
overseas visitor Yuel Bhatti, of URI Pakistan.
