The Compassion Games Interfaith League Brings Play and Wonder to U.N. World Interfaith Harmony Week
What happens when you combine the interfaith world – comprised of grassroots interfaith organizations large and small, places of worship and interfaith leaders – together with the Compassion Games? You get a lot of important work accomplished.
While we often think of interfaith work as breakthrough dialogues, educational programs, service to the community and all efforts that we can do better together than apart, the Compassion Games invites an additional dynamic. It’s a dynamic that infuses trust and creativity, allowing curiosity to replace hesitancy and fear. It’s a place within ourselves where possibilities spring forth in our hearts in ways that can accomplish the seemingly impossible. The Compassion Games provides us a place to play together.
In the spirit of competitive altruism, we challenge one another to stretch farther, reach higher, go deeper and amplify our already existing work. World Interfaith Harmony Week offers this challenge too.
In 2010, H.M. King Abdullah II of Jordan proposed the observance of a World Interfaith Harmony Week to the U.N. General Assembly to take place the first week of February. Each year, the King’s office awards a handsome prize for the best interfaith activity, initiative or project. First place is $25,000 and a trip to Jordan to accept the award.
The Compassion Games has partnered with World Interfaith Harmony Week to provide a double dose of inspiration and to motivate unprecedented unified action to promote interfaith harmony.
When we play together, we come from a place of joy and wonderment. Play calls us to challenge one another to be the best versions of ourselves and our faith, doing so in a way that is natural and nonthreatening, inviting, rewarding, and even fun.
Along the way, a lot of important work gets done. We call it “heavy lifting with a light heart.”
It’s time for us to do it together!
It’s easy to join. Plus, you are supported by a team of committed coaches, have access to resources, quick guides and collaborative community calls.
