She said “Through this forum, I hope that many resources owned by various religions of the east and the west can be used for the harmony and peace of the world.” She also said “I wish each of the religions go beyond their own ideologies and form a discourse on the solution for ecological crisis and the realization of world peace.” In his response, President Yun Eun-Do said “We are already trying to practice the idea of Sangsaeng, and I will positively consider expanding interfaith dialogue on harmony and Sangsaeng.” Meanwhile, the PoWR acts as a trans-religious organization that connects religions to social groups and provides ethical and universal principles to facilitate cooperation among many different groups of people.
