In a world dominated by conflicts and wars triggered by religion, the foundation for peace is being laid - a place of hope where leaders of various faiths and denominations worldwide are gathering.

The focal point of this culture of peace is the 'Religious Leaders Peace Centre', one of the global cooperative initiatives of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, led by Chairman ManHee Lee. The Peace Centre was inaugurated by the four-day ‘1st Special Lecture on Revelation Open to All Nations’ conference held earlier this year (February 20th to 23rd), where 80 leaders from 10 faiths, including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Confucianism, from 27 countries gathered in South Korea to expand their understanding of the Bible and exchange scriptures through a Bible exchange programme designed to promote understanding and solidarity between religions.

A Buddhist leader who attended the event said, “I experienced the miracle of religious leaders from different religions smiling happily, shaking hands, and putting their arms around each other’s shoulders, truly becoming one,” and added, “If any religious leader comes and participates even once, their thoughts will change to the point where they will regret not participating sooner.”

The religious leaders' Bible exchange programme led to the establishment of a more systematic and developed 'Peace Centre'. The programme is being carried out to help religious leaders understand Christianity through the Bible and to promote inter-religious dialogue and cooperation. As of 2024, 632 religious leaders are participating in this programme.

Moreover, among the religious leaders who attended the first Peace Centre class, there were many who made plans for inter-religious scripture exchanges in their home countries and put them into practice.

For example, on June 29th, the '2024 Cambodia Religious Peace Vision Forum' was held at the Chak Angre Krom Pagoda Buddhist temple in Cambodia. 120 monks and 30 Shincheonji Church of Jesus lecturers, evangelists, and followers gathered at the event.

Regarding the expansion of the Peace Centre centred around religious leaders from each country, a Shincheonji Church of Jesus official said, “Peace is a universal mission that requires cooperation from all believers,” and “By promoting dialogue based on mutual understanding and respect, we will be able to overcome prejudice and cooperate together to achieve lasting peace on Earth.”
