Unifying Principle

 

If we love and serve people that disagree with us, we can find many opportunities to be united.

We believe evil is served when we require people to believe what we believe in order to help them. Acts of kindness and participating in common causes is a way to bridge gaps and expand our understanding of God.

Over the years the Teach Peace Foundation has partnered with organizations and people that do not believe what we believe. Consider the example of a person working to abolish nuclear bombs but also supporting the death penalty. We support this person in their work to abolish nuclear bombs but we would not support their work to promote the death penalty. We take the position that if you support people when they are doing good, they will do more good and the gaps where we disagree will lessen.

God's love and our service flowing from God's love should not be restricted to people who believe what we believe. A good example is the Teach Peace Foundation awards program which recognizes people for their good work independent of their personal beliefs. This may sound like common sense but over the years it has been amazing how many people and organization will find one of the programs that we offer to be different from their understanding of peacemaking and reject everything we do. When this happens, we remain unchanged in our support of the organizations and individuals of their work to help make our world a better one.

Teach Peace's open source approach is further strengthened by a willingness to help other organizations working to create a stable and sustainable peaceful world.

Funding for programs to facilitate cooperation with other organizations is a challenge and does limit the amount of support we are able to provide other organizations. As a result, we keep this process as simple and relatively free from requiring Teach Peace staff time. When a person with another organization would like to redistribute Teach Peace educational materials, they are encouraged to ask for permission by writing to us at contact@teachpeace.com.  We have approved every request over the last several years and while we reserve the right to say no, most requests will be approved.
