A forum for proactive steps towards peace

In September 2014 at the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) summit, hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), Chairman Man Hee Lee’s heart-felt message to people of religion and the world was to set up a WARP Office for religious leaders to unify for peace, in every country.

WARP Office is one of HWPL’s world peace campaigns, which aims to understand each religion and unite as one through comparing and contrast each scripture.

In 2015, New Zealand took up the challenge and is fervently running to achieve a world of peace through the WARP Office with monthly Dialogue of Scriptures events.

Additionally, the Sikh representative, Mr. Akshdeep Singh went on to say that “HWPL is doing a very great work. It’s not easy for a man to travel a lot of countries to spread the peace message so perfectly and to gather all the religious leaders, politicians and people from the different communities all together – it’s not an easy thing to do.”

After watching a video of Chairman Lee’s 23rd trip to India which strongly conveyed the unprecedented work of peace taking place today, Mr. Mike Ferriss, whom represented the Scientology religion, expressed by saying that “I am totally impressed with by the work he’s doing. It’s phenomenal what he is accomplishing in terms of who he is getting to the table around the world in the name of peace.”

HWPL is an international peace organization registered in the Department of Public Information of the United Nations (UN DPI) and initiating peace works together with the International Law Peace Committee, World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Offices, International Women's Peace Group (IWPG), and International Peace Youth Group (IPYG).
