"There is no peace in the world and there seems to be a lot of issues because nobody understands each other. We want to find what are the root causes of these issues."

Major global conflicts and the need for justice will be the topics up for discussion at the 12th annual World Religions Conference.
The free event is taking place October 25 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.
Organizer Malik Agyemang says those in attendance will hear about global issues and thoughts on how we can all live together in harmony from a number of speakers of different faiths.
"It doesn't matter whether we all have the same religion or even for people who do not have any faith, how do we quell this? How do we live together in peace and harmony," he asks.
Agyemang says the potential for global conflict is real and it must be spoken about.
"There is no peace in the world and there seems to be a lot of issues because nobody understands each other. We want to find what are the root causes of these issues," he says, pointing to the USA as a common denominator.
"You have a lot of tension within society and then you look internationally at what is going on between the US and North Korea, and then between the US and Russia. We are living in a trying time, and there are people and countries with nuclear power. They dont understand each other and they're hurling insults at one another -- those are the main issues that kind of concern us."
The 12th annual World Religions Confernce is hosted by Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada with support from RDC, the RDC Students' Association and the Cultural Activities Trust Fund.
Attendees are asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Students' Association Food Bank.
