The Hawaii-based All Believers Network (Belnet) encourages individuals to examine their own faiths objectively and explore how scriptural passages that build barriers against other faiths might be reinterpreted to become more inclusive. Rather than focus on ritualistic differences among religions, Belnet tries to examine the underlying areas in common.
[9/6/06] Saleem Ahmed, founder of the All Believers Network (Belnet), just may have the recipe for world peace. Ahmed, a Muslim, has created a monthly forum for people of all faiths to gather and discuss the common threads between their respective religions. His gatherings attract anywhere from eight to 50 people of various faiths including Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Subud, Zoroastrian, Baha’i, Buddhist, Jain, Sufi, Sikh and Hawaiian Spiritualist. And he would love the list to grow.
