Approximately 50 Ambassadors for Peace met in Berlin April 28-29, 2007 to lay the groundwork for a National Peace Council. President of UPF-Germany Karl Meier challenged participants to adopt the motto of “living for the sake of others” as a guideline for not only interpersonal but also international relations.
Participants selected topics for the council’s permanent working committees. Six committees were formed and chairpersons selected:
• Human Rights and UN Renewal (Karl Meier)
• Youth and Inner Peace (Elfriede Bradley and Ashin Sopaka)
• Jewish-Islamic Dialogue (Elke Preusser-Franke and Joerg Wolf)
• The Family Ideal in a Diverse Society (Gerhard Toelke)
• Sustainable Agriculture and Renewable Energies (Ahmadudin Wais)
• Interreligious Dialogue (Mohammed Herzog and Dong-Shin Shin)
The working groups met to set goals, and lively discussion continued into the night.
