THE TENT OF ABRAHAM, HAGAR, & SARAH: A CALL FOR PEACEMAKING

From an ad in the New York Times

We are members of the families of Abraham — Muslims, Christians,
Jews.

Our traditions teach us to have compassion, seek justice, and pursue
peace for all peoples. We bear especially deep concern for the
region where Abraham grew and learned, taught and flourished. Today
that region stretches from Iraq, where Abraham grew up, to Israel
and Palestine, where he sojourned, and to Mecca and Egypt, where he
visited.

Today our hearts are broken by the violence poured out upon the
peoples of that broad region.

That violence has included terrorist attacks on and kidnappings of
Americans, Israelis, Iraqis, Europeans, and others by various
Palestinian and Iraqi groups and by Al Qaeda; the occupation of
Palestinian lands by Israel and of Iraq by the United States; and
the torture of prisoners by several different police forces,
military forces, and governments in the region.

From our heartbreak at these destructive actions, we intend to open
our hearts more fully to each other and to the suffering of all
peoples.

In the name of the One God Whom we all serve and celebrate, we
condemn all these forms of violence. To end the present wars and to
take serious steps toward the peace that all our traditions demand
of us, we call on governments and on the leaders of all religious
and cultural communities to act.

We urge the US government to set a firm and speedy date for
completing the safe return home from Iraq of all American soldiers
and civilians under military contract. We urge the UN to work
directly with Iraqi political groupings to transfer power in Iraq to
an elected government.

We urge the UN, the US, the European Union, and Russia to convene a
comprehensive peace conference through which the governments of
Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Iran, and all Arab states
conclude a full diplomatic, economic, and cultural peace with Israel
and Palestine, defined approximately on the 1967 boundaries, with
small mutual adjustments.

We urge the international community to work out lawful and effective
means to deal with the dangers of international terrorism, the
spread of nuclear and similar weapons, and conflicts over the
control of oil and water.

We ourselves will act to create transnational and interfaith
networks of Jews, Christians, and Muslims who will covenant
together -

_ to insist that governments take these steps,

_ to undertake whatever nonviolent actions are necessary to prevent
more violence and achieve a just peace throughout the region,

_ and to grow grass-roots relationships that bind together those who
have been enemies into a Compassionate Coalition.

According to tradition, Abraham, Hagar, and Sarah kept their tent
open in all four directions, the more easily to share their food and
water with travelers from anywhere. In that spirit, we welcome all
those who thirst and hunger for justice, peace, and dignity, to join
in affirming this statement.
