Last May, the world saw another light of hope for peace in different communities as they hosted a peace walk. On the same day, an HWPL branch in South Africa hosted an interfaith dialogue to gather the voices and the opinions from different groups. Many renowned religious leaders of the country attended this conference to represent their own religion. This focus of this conference was to discuss the topic 'creation' in each religion. The conference was not to find the difference that would trigger conflict, but to find similarities.
All of us are scattered into pieces, in which we identify ourselves with it. The conference, however, matched these scattered pieces together, so that there can be peace. After the dialogue, the participants walked in the Freedom Park to celebrate the 2nd year of the peace day. We saw a peace walk, in which everyone walked together, in a country, where segregation used to take place. It is truly amazing to see that not only different ethnicity walking together, but also different religions and groups.
