What is the role of religious and spiritual leaders?
While ZOPIF respects all religious and spiritual traditions, it is not a religious organization nor does it promote any religion. Yet, we recognize that all major religions have prayers for peace at their core and that most religious leaders are already engaged in the work of peace. They have a dynamic role as community leaders and guardians of the sacred and religious sites, which are natural candidates for Zones of Peace. We invite religious and spiritual leaders of all beliefs to work in cooperation with one another, with citizens and with their respective governments to establish these sites as Zones of Peace.
