Cape Town Interfaith Initiative celebrates the International Day of Peace 2019

As we move through URI's Year of Renewal, it is an excellent time to pause and reflect. Sometimes habit can overcome intentionality and it is good to take opportunities to assess where you are going and where you would like to be. How can you affirm your commitment to URI's Preamble, Purpose and Principles this year?

One excellent way to affirm your connection is to take part in the United Nations days that honor URI's Action Areas. See the listings below.
