“Religious Peacemakers” is a series of articles featuring Greater Cincinnati individuals who are religious and who use their faith and religious beliefs as promotors for their committed actions toward peace and justice.

The series, which features individuals of all religions/denominations, is based on the principle that all religions are spiritual, above material gains; that at their essence are teachings for peace and justice; and that they all aim at achieving an equal and better world.

Sadly it is we humans who, through our institutions, often use and hijack religions for personal and/or political power-driven and control gains, thus condoning divisiveness and violence.

As seen through their individual paths, and even though belonging to different religions and faiths, the featured individuals end up all going in the same direction and toward the same goal, that of an equal, peaceful and just world.
