Dear Friend,

Religions for Peace welcomes you to join in the celebration of our 40th Anniversary. During these four decades, hundreds of thousands of men, women, and youth who are genuinely motivated by their religious convictions have been working together for peace.

Built on respect for religious differences, but united in common action, Religions for Peace has been a pioneer in interreligious cooperation, shouldering the “task” of peace since its inception. We are now in more than 90 countries—including some of the most challenging environments on earth—building peace by helping to stop war, end poverty, and protect the earth.

You are invited to celebrate our anniversary through an online virtual celebration, as well as through your own creative actions in your community. Please visit http://www.40years.org, where you can learn more about Religions for Peace through a timeline of our accomplishments and gallery of historical photos. You are also encouraged to participate by telling us your hopes for Religions for Peace in our next 40 years.

Help us earn a US$100,000 matching grant to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Through your generosity, we already have $60,000 towards the grant match offer. Your donation today will make a real difference.

You can double your donation’s impact now by helping us raise $40,000 in the next two weeks. Consider honoring the Religions for Peace 40th Anniversary by making a special gift today.

Your gift helps us to grow and strengthen the dynamic global coalition of interreligious councils, women of faith and youth networks all committed to peace. Your commitment will strengthen all of us. Finally, please forward this message to your friends.

With appreciation for your partnership and kind greetings for the holiday season, I am

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. William F. Vendley
Secretary General
