Reclaiming the Sacred in a Materialistic World

    Episode 1: Introducing Shared Sacred Flourishing
    Jul 7 2026
    In today’s world, we are more isolated than ever. The dominant worldview is shaped by materialism and a loss of meaning. A mechanistic view of nature harms and exploits the Earth. This reductive worldview excludes the Sacred. At the same time, the majority of the world’s population identify with a religion.

    Built upon the accumulated knowledge of ten World Assemblies held since 1970 and numerous interreligious collaborative efforts, Shared Sacred Flourishing is a framework that invites us to rediscover a common sacred lens which aligns our work towards a vision of flourishing, compassion, justice, and care for a wounded world.

    Episode 1 of the Religions for Peace introduces Shared Sacred Flourishing. The podcast is intended for religious leaders around the world committed to interreligious action for peace.

    Featured guests in this episode include Dr. Francis Kuria, Secretary General of Religions for Peace; Dr. William Vendley, Vice President, World Religions and Spirituality atThe Fetzer Institute and Secretary General Emeritus of Religions for Peace; Dr Judith Simmer-Brown, retired Distinguished Professor of Tibetan Buddhism and Interfaith Dialogue at Colorado’s Naropa University; and Rabbi David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland, Religions for Peace International Co-President and Special Interfaith Advisor to Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi.
