What’s the point? We want people to: - meet together and - celebrate living in One World with all its diversity. We want to explore issues such as: - food and water supplies, - climate change, and - living in harmony with each other and with nature. “ We must all take care of each other for us all to be secure” Dr Mustafa Ali, Secretary General of African Council of Religious Leaders, April 2008
