  Origin

  "In this new ecological age of developing global community and interfaith dialogue, the world's religions face what is perhaps the greatest challenge that they have ever encountered. Each is inspired by a unique vision of the divine and has a distinct cultural identity. At the same time, each perceives the divine and the source of unity and peace. The challenge is to preserve their religious and cultural uniqueness without letting it operate as a cause of narrow and divisive sectarianism that contradicts the vision of divine unity and peace. It is a question of whether the healing light of religious vision will overcome the social and ideological issues that underlie much of the conflict between religions."
  - Steven C. Rockefeller, _Spirit and Nature_, p.169
