At All Saints Church we are committed to the proposition that peace and justice making are not options for the world’s great religions. Rather peace and justice making are central mandates for us all the world’s great religions. We believe that God’s desire is to advance the agenda of peace through true community in the broadest sense – and a long standing commitment to interfaith education, dialogue, collaboration and celebration is one of the hallmarks of All Saints Church.
