URI Stories of Impact

For the Animals

This beautiful prayer, written by Kiran Bali, URI Global Council Chair, calls our attention to honor and care for animals.

A World at Peace

Three fervent prayers powerfully call people everywhere to pray for a world at peace. These prayers are offered by: Right Reverend William Swing, Audri Scott Williams, and by May Peace Prevail On Earth International.

Sharing the Sacred

In URI we share the sacred with diverse voices, practices, and feelings. Every member of URI brings unique expressions of prayer, meditation, ritual, and reflection.

Sacred Circle

The circle has resided since the dawn of time.  As URI grows and evolves, the circle is URI’s blessing, a way to nurture one another.
