Dear Peter,
Many thanks for your appreciation of the GHA work and your kind invitation to
your wonderful Global Peace Conventions in 2013. We could offer to your
remarkable Foundation the new peace leaders from India, Ghana, Latin America,
Russia, Kazakhstan and other countries.
We have carefully reviewed your website and have found several common peace
directions: education, interfaith harmony and cooperation, culture of
harmonious peace and family. They are very interesting to us, because the GHA
Mission is: ?To bring peace from harmony and to pave a conscious way for
harmonious civilization on scientifically based ?ABC of Harmony? through
harmonious education?, or in short: ?Peace from Harmony"
(www.peacefromharmony.org).
For the GHA the Interfaith Harmony Project is only one of the ways to a global
peace and we would be happy to cooperate with your Foundation in this project
(www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=541), as in others.
During the past 8 years GHA has created 42 peacemaking projects to implement
our mission (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=472). We would like to
offer two of them for your strategic planning (plus the Interfaith project),
based on the global textbook the ABC of Harmony for World Peace ...
(www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=478). It defines global harmonious
education and consciousness as the deepest spiritual foundation for Global
Peace and Sustainable Development. These two projects are:
1.The GHA Petition to the UN for Disarmament within 50 years, for which we need
to collect 1 million signatures by September 21, 2013
(www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=529). Could you help us collect these
signatures? Could you turn this project into your strategy?
2. The New Global Peace Movement from Harmony for the 21st century
(www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=532), as now in the world there is no
united peace movement, whereas the threat of a world war is increasing along
with the arms race. Only such projects are able to embody the great imperative
of Martin Luther King Jr.: "We must shift the arms race into a race of peace
and harmony."
The above three projects, we are assured, are worthy of Strategic Planning of
your wonderful Foundation. We look forward to full cooperation between our
related peace organizations.
Best harmony wishes,

Dear GHA members, interfaith friends,
An excellent idea matured within the GHA: the idea UN Decade of Interfaith
Harmonious Education for 2014-2024, which requires a logical and organizational
completion.
The first and most important. Implementation of this idea will significantly
enhance the harmonizing social mission of States, the UN members, and religions
and their churches in the life of society through the development of global
harmonious interfaith education. The issue of enhancing the social role of the
state and religion through harmonious education is very important for both of
them in our time of burgeoning social and religious conflicts in the world. The
harmonizing social mission of state and religion is very relevant and for the
population, which faces growing global challenges demanding from them adequate
responses in a non-violent way of global harmonious interfaith education,
rather than on a way of global militarization and violent solutions.
Second. The need for global interfaith harmonious education has reached a new
level to meet the challenges of globalization in the 21st century. The existing
system of national, common and elite education does not respond to the global
challenges of our time and fails to prepare the young generations for
non-violent harmonious solutions to any social problems. This is a key flaw of
modern education that can be overcome only in harmonization as in interfaith
perspective, and through harmonization of science and religion.
These two key global motives determine the relevance and necessity of the UN
Decade of Interfaith Harmonious Education for the years 2014-2024, which will
give a good start and order for the most favorable global trends of spiritual
and educational nature. The common good of this UN Decade is so obvious that it
requires no special logical proofs.
Organizing to complete this idea may proceed from its initiation within the UN
by any organizations involved in the UN one way or another. This can be the
Interfaith Coalition of Partnership with the UN, or the head of any state who
can offer this idea in the UN General Session. Obviously, the most logical
initiator of this idea may be Jordan's King Abdullah II as the initiator of the
World Interfaith Harmony Week in the UN, 2010. In this regard, we propose to
add the GHA offers to Jordan's King in the GHA Project of Interfaith Harmony as
a new, ninth point with the following content:
Initiate in the UN, as a development of initiative 2010, a proposal of the UN
Decade of Interfaith Harmonious Education for 2014-2024, which will strengthen
a harmonizing mission of state and religion in global society in a non-violent
peacemaking way of qualitative renewal of the education system in the world,
especially in the direction of interfaith harmony instead of militarization.
We offer within three days, until March 5, inclusively, to discuss this
proposal and include it in the GHA Interfaith Harmony Project, in section 9:
www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=541.
We understand that the common benefit of this proposal is so obvious that it
requires no special discussion. There may be a difference only in the
formulations of this proposal. Therefore, in this case, we will take your
silence as a sign of consent and approval of this proposal and welcome all of
its amendments to improve it. Thank you for supporting this proposal.
Best harmony wishes,
Dr. Leo Semashko, GHA President
