Sacred Worldview: Shared Values for Our Global Family

Across the globe, the world’s great religions share a sacred worldview rooted in a vision of love, compassion, and interconnection. These shared sacred values form a common moral foundation that supports human flourishing across cultures.

Religion, at its best, has been a wellspring of inspiration and meaning for individuals and societies. It fosters communities of belonging where people find a sense of identity and support. By emphasizing care for neighbors, peacemaking, and service, the world’s faiths have inspired countless acts of charity and justice. The positive role of religion grounds ethics in something sacred, connects us in the community, and calls forth our better selves in service of the common good.

Religion is not a static relic of the past but a living, breathing force continually reinterpreted in each generation. Through it all, the heart of religion endures: to nurture meaning, connection, ethics, and compassion in human life. When approached with an open mind and generous spirit, religion in any form can be a powerful catalyst for shared flourishing, reminding us that we are one human family entrusted with a sacred Earth.
