PEACE ACTIVIST DR. CLYDE RIVERS SEEKING GLOBAL PEACE

Dr. Clyde Rivers

Loss of life is at an epidemic level around the world. Dr. Clyde Rivers, a Representative to the United Nations in New York for the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative (IPI), is on a mission to establish cultures of peace within every community in the world. The plan to accomplish this is based on the biblical principle of the Golden Rule, “Treat each other the way you want to be treated.” Dr. Rivers believes this principle will lay a foundation for peaceful dialogue within communities that are in need of peaceful, life-saving results.

Representative and activist, Dr. Clyde Rivers said, “Many nations of the world do not understand the power of peace making. If you have been fortunate enough to live in a country that has never experienced war, you are a blessed person. As a peace activist for the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative I have seen people living in total fear of what’s going to happen at the end of an election. They are unsure if there will be peace or war and it causes great concern and unrest. This has become a great issue of concern for me and gives me a strong desire to initiate peace globally wherever I go.”
