About URI
United
Religions Initiative (URI) was founded in 2000 by an extraordinary global
community committed to promoting enduring, daily interfaith cooperation and to
ending religiously motivated violence. Today the URI includes thousands of
members in over 65 countries representing more that 100 religions, spiritual
expressions, and indigenous traditions.
URI is a global community with spiritual heart. Members from diverse
backgrounds pioneer interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding skills. Its core
organizational principles include inclusive membership, self-organizing
initiatives and decentralized governance. Together, we are designing an
effective communications and knowledge sharing network and exchanging best
practices for local, regional and global organizing. We are deepening
friendships and fostering solidarity. URI believes that people everywhere when
inspired to cooperate for the common good, will find solutions to end
religiously motivated hate and violence and will create initiatives that build
cultures of peace, justice and healing. You are invited to participate in this
unique global organization and imagine how to ignite the spirit of URI in your
community.
