Some 300 people of various religions met in Japan on Wednesday to kick-off the two-day World Religious Summit for Peace ahead of the G-8 summit.

More than 20 countries were represented at the religious gathering held in Sapporo, Hakkaido – where next week’s G-8 summit will also take place.

Participants included 60 religious leaders representing Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam and Zoroastrianism, according to Kyodo News. Attendees from America include the Rev. Dr. Michael Kinnamon, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA, and Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union of Reform Jews.

During the religious conference, participants will make peace proposals and discuss how to end war and combat poverty, climate change and terrorism.

Plenary sessions include: “The G-8 Summit: Our Spiritual and Moral Responsibilities,” “Advancing Shared Security: The Commitments of the World’s Religions,” and “The Way Forward: Mobilizing the World’s Religious Communities in Common Action for Peace.”

Tony Blair may be a political leader but he's not a religious leader.

I meant to say that it takes more than being popular and being a political leader to be a Christian leader. It takes a servants heart, humbleness, and time with the Lord. For most people it takes a number of years to develop these.

And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
