Dr. Rivers Presenting Award to Dr. Pierre Tigerino

On October 9, 2013 in Los Angeles. CA, Dr. Clyde Rivers presented the Golden Rule Award International to Dr. Pierre Tigerino, son of Dr. Manuel Tigerino. The Golden Rule states “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Dr. Pierre Tigerino has worked as a peace activist to promote peace amongst the Latino and the African American communities in Los Angeles for several years.

The Golden Rule International Award is now established in 120 nations of the world. This organization seeks out top achievers that live the Golden Rule in their everyday life. This is a new global ethic that the leadership of the Golden Rule International Award, Patron, current President of Ethiopia, Girma Wolde and Ambassador Mussie Hailu has embraced and is promoting globally. Golden Rule International is also affiliated with the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative (IPI), African Union, the United Nations as well as the United Religions Initiative (URI).

Dr. Pierre also works with the different agencies in L.A. to keep peace amongst the various ethnic groups in L.A. It is great to have Dr. Pierre Tigerino as a Good Will Ambassador of the Golden Rule International.”


Golden Rule Award International is the Solution to World Peace

Ambassador Mussie Hailu and Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers

Ambassador Clyde Rivers speaks about the solution to world peace. He is quoted saying, “There are several issues facing the world today. There are wars, famines, and injustices taking place all over the globe. We are in a catastrophic global decline.

The global community is searching for solutions. Many of the solutions they are looking for would cost billions of dollars that the global community does not possess. What do we do when we can’t buy our way out of a problem?

There is only one solution that can solve these horrendous global issues and it does not have to do with money but with human character – living the Golden Rule. Teaching people to treat others the way they want to be treated would make the most significant change we could imagine. Think about a businessman that wants to treat others they way he would like to be treated? What about the creators of vaccinations that heal the sick? Having the honest desire to see their creation released on the world to bring healing, just like they would want to have help in their own personal wellness. What if leadership around the world would treat those they lead like they would want to be treated? Can you envision the world if we treated others the way we want to be treated? It would be a much better place for mankind. Humanity does not have to agree on everything – just agree to apply the Golden Rule. As the old adage says, “Agree to disagree.”


The Golden Rule is a policy from the Bible and is stated in some form in every religious culture in the world. Encouraging other cultures to live by the policy of treating others the way you want to be treated would bring global change. I plan to continue to bring this new global ethnic and work to change the world.”

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.”

The goal of the Golden Rule Day is to have no more religious violence in our
nations of the world. As we teach different faiths how to work together for the benefit of their communities.
If we all live the Gold Rule, which is to treat others the way you want to be treated. We can change the world.

United Graduate College and Seminary International Fight For Religious Freedom Around the World


UGCSI-Professor Clyde Rivers


It is a great day for United Graduate College and Seminary International we are pushing to bring religious education to the fore-front of the education agendas of the world. We are a private non- government Christian educational institution. We believe in religious freedom for all. Many constitutions of the world today say they have religious freedom as they practice intolerance towards religious freedom. Religious freedom should mean that religious rights are equal not second place to the systems of the world.

We are exposing religious intolerance in many countries of the world. United Graduate College and Seminary International states that ministry degrees are important for ministers and people of faith. We believe all faiths should have the right within education to be considered as professional degrees around the world, where there is religious freedom in the constitutions. We will not take a back seat to anyone in the world, because God is with us. We will continue to stand for religious freedom around the world.
