Leo and friends, Here is my support for this unique initiative, especially concerning the Parliament of the World Religions. My grandfather used to talk a lot about the first one held in 1893, in which he was active, and for this reason I became a member of the General Assembly of the second one in 1993. As co-founder of The Abraham Federation: A Global Center for Peace through Compassionate Justice, and as its Director for Global Strategy, I hereby endorse the GHA's peacemaking and educational project of World Interfaith Harmony in support of the 2013 U.N. World Interfaith Harmony Week. Peace, prosperity, and freedom through the interfaith harmony of compassionate justice for everyone, Bob Crane -----Original Message----- From: Surendra Pathak <pathak06@xxxxxxxxx> To: gha <gha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dr. Leo Semashko <leo44442006@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, Feb 4, 2013 8:37 am Subject: [gha] Re: Unique initiative Dear Dr. Leo, I support this noble idea.
