I took the preaching out but this gives an overview of what big bro has
plans for us to be sheeple - all thinking the same and worshiping gaia
under the control of UN. Amazing how many people of power putting energy
into this.

A
The First Religion and Cultural Diversity Conference,
Melbourne,
July 1997
by W. B. Howard,
Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
REPORT NUMBER ONE.
THE ONE WORLD CHURCH IS HERE!
MAURICE STRONG, New Age leader who headed the NWO Earth Summit,
was in Australia; the Archbishop
of Canterbury, Dr. George Carey was in Melbourne to open the
Multicultural Conference; Cardinal Francis
Arinze, tipped by many to be the next Pope of the Catholic
Church, was at the Religious Conference in
Melbourne. The Governor General of Australia, Sir William
Deane, was in attendance at The Religion and
Cultural Diversity Conference in Melbourne.
Many political big names gathered there also. A profusion of
religious leaders came together, Anglican and
Catholic Archbishops in purple and scarlet, Buddhists in
saffron robes, Islamic leaders, Greek Orthodox
priests, Jewish Rabbis, Quaker leaders, World Vision
representatives, Salvation Army officers, Uniting
Church ministers, the Church of Christ was represented - many
others. (A list can be sent of presenters and
delegates for those interested...will be Online soon)
The Australian Multicultural Foundation, executive director,
Mr. Hass Dellal, the President/Moderator of the
World Council on Religion and Peace, took a lead role in the
three day and two night conference. We were
given a glamorous cocktail reception at Parliament House on the
Monday night!
The actual program planning committee comprised:
The Hon.Sir James Gobbo AC, the Governor of Victoria (Then
Australian Multicultural Foundation 1988 - April 1997); Mr. B.(Hass)
Dellal
OAM, Australian Multicultural Foundation; Dr. John Bodycomb OAM, World
Conference on Religion and Peace Australia; Professor Desmond Cahill,
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology; Dr. Fiona Hill, World
Conference on Religion and Peace Australia; Rev. John Baldock (1996),
World Conference on Religion and Peace.
Supporting sponsors were:
Victorian Multicultural Commission
The National Australian Bank
The University of Melbourne
State Government of Victoria.
Members and Signatories of the Australian Multicultural
Foundation include:
The Hon.Mr John Howard MP (Prime Minister of Australia)
The Hon. Mr. Kim Beazley MP (leader of the Opposition).
NEW AGE
The New Age international organizations "Conflict Resolution
Network" and "Unity and Diversity Council"
took center stage during proceedings. The conference finished
on the recommendation that we should all
listen to one another, those in other religions, and we should
all listen to the NEW AGE! Perhaps the strange
spiritual darkness of that conference can be grasped in the
"Prayer of Togetherness" at the Religion and
Cultural Diversity Conference Dinner. The lights were dimmed,
there was only the illumination of one candle
at each table, approximately 250 dignitaries and delegates
bowed together, to the words of this "prayer":
"Let us focus on the candle, the small quivering fire the
light in the darkness, the call to
evening prayer, the call to thanksgiving.....for our
togetherness for our unity, as sons and
daughters of the earth in this vast and ancient land, this
sacred soil of the Dreamtime.
In the presence of the ineffable Other, the Holy Being of
Infinity, the Numinous Beyond, the
One and the Ultimate, the Alpha and the Omega, the Unknown
and the Unknowable, Lord of
the Cosmos, Center of Creation God, the God of power and
righteousness. We pray to you in
the immensity and grandeur of the world (et al)."
NO RELIGION KNOWS GOD
As the above prayer shows, the conference speakers were in
total agreement that no religion knows God,
that God is unknowable! These religious "holy men" agreed that
God was the "unknown" and
"unknowable", and these were presented as the Godly leaders of
the new global spirituality which will unite
the planet in the next Millennium. How remarkable this is! Yet
a simple believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,
regenerated, washed in the Blood of the Lamb, sitting in their
midst, can cry from a heart filled with gratitude -
I KNOW GOD, through my relationship with the Precious Savior
Jesus Christ, God's Son.
God is now no longer even
knowable, He is just the impersonal energy of the earth, Lord
of the Cosmos, Cosmic "Christ", the Rainbow
Serpent of the aboriginal Dreamtime.
NO RELIGION CAN CLAIM ABSOLUTISM
The conference's saw the one cardinal sin of any religion as
being ABSOLUTISM. There was general
consensus that all religions tended to believe that they held absolute
Truth, and that all others were relative to them. This was decried as
pride, refusal to embrace others, separatism which tended towards
war-like aggression, bigotry and spiritual blindness. The religious
leaders of Islam, Baha'i, the Quakers, Catholic and Anglican priests,
Buddhists and all the rest of the eclectic crew sat passively, showing
veneer accord at any
rate. The atmosphere was "loving", "harmonious", people mixed
together with overt graciousness and
intention to sink their differences. Sadly, the New Age
globalists have sinister plans for them all, just over
the horizon.
INTERFAITH INSTRUCTION MUST TAKE PLACE
The predominate recommendation was that Interfaith training and
dialogue ( or indoctrination?) must be
embraced by all religions. No exemptions. This is mandatory,
political, religious syncretism as international
law! A bishop from Perth enlarged upon this indoctrination to
me personally, as we chatted over
mouth-watering savories at Parliament House. He was thrilled
with the concept of a "well" of spirituality in all
religions, which, if one delved deep enough, would show that we
all have basically the same faith and the
same God. The conference declared a "spark of God" in every
man, a "well of faith" in all faiths. The bishop
then went on to affirm his belief in the apostate teachings of
the New Age teacher, Matthew Fox, and
Jungian psychology.
PARLIAMENT HOUSE
At Parliament House in Melbourne, I spoke with two high level
priests of the Anglican church, Archbishop
Peter Hollingworth, who is a committee member of the New World
Order's Commission for the Future, and the
Assist.Bishop of Perth, David Murray - both are avid followers
of the New Age ex-Dominican Matthew Fox.
Fox who teaches that there was no Fall, no Redemption, and
celebrates earth worship, adores "Mother
Nature", embraces occultism and believes in mass murder by the
"shrinking" of the population of the earth!
Fox who is a friend of the Luciferian David Spangler who
advocates that all people on earth should undergo
the "Luciferian initiation"!
POLITICAL AND ACADEMICS SPEAK
The input of the academics and politicians at the World
Conference on Religion and Peace in Melbourne was
chillingly authoritarian. The clamor for "peace" world-wide has
caused them to the take the bait of the New
World Order, but peace is far from the minds of these
internationalists, in reality. Nevertheless the foolish,
ungodly "wise" persons at the WCRP deemed it imperative that
all religions be stopped from causing war,
massacre and disunity on the planet. Yes, religions were blamed
for most of the earth's ills. I attended a
workshop titled "Religious Fundamentalisms and Social
Cohesion", address by John Bodycomb. Dr. John
Bodycomb OAM is an ordained "Christian" minister. "He was
awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia
for service to the promotion of religious freedom and fostering
ecumenism." He was, until recently, the
full-time Chaplain with the University of Melbourne.
Bodycomb's address was before approximately 20 illustrious
religious and governmental leaders, which
included the Governor of Victoria, Sir James Gobbo, Chairman of
the Council of Multicultural Affairs; the
Hon.Dame Roma Mitchell, former Governor of South Australia, and
former judge of the Supreme Court of
S.A.; Reverend Peter Hollingworth, Anglican Archbishop of
Brisbane; His Eminence Cardinal Francis Arinze,
born in Nigeria, The President of Secretariat for
non-Christians and President of the Pontifical Council for
Interreligious Dialogue, Member of the Pontifical Council for
Promoting Christian unity, he has worked with
UNESCO; and Dr. Adamou Ndam Mjoya, President/Moderator of the
World Council on Religion and
Peace/International, involved with the United Nations, UNESCO,
and the World Center of Research and
Action for the New Ethics, he has held senior positions in the
Government of Cameroon and is presently
Minister
The following quotes come from the address by John Bodycomb, a
number of other offensive remarks were
made, but they are not on the notes, they were ad lib:
"I have four main points. The first is that religion per
se is not inherently bad or good.
Archbishop Hollingworth, in the foreword to Professor Ian Plimer's book,
"Telling Lie for God" (which is about so-called 'creation science') says
'Just as there is good and bad science,
so there is good and bad religion.'
There was much talk at the conference about regarding the
"sacred books" of religions as precious resources
and "beautiful words." The myths of the aboriginal Dreamtime,
as a creation story, was regarded as
spiritually alive, wise beyond science etc. Publications on the
book tables spoke of the Dreamtime myths as
being analogous to Genesis chapter one. The fact is, if these
Interfaith 'scholars' attack one creation "story"
they attack the others! Strange outcome this. And if other
religions are declared to have "freedom", then
these people cannot show their own inconsistency by vilifying
ANY religion. (In public at any rate).
FUNDAMENTALIST ATTACKED THROUGHOUT
There were many attacks on "fundamentalists" at the conference.
The Governor General of Australia even
came into battle against these "separationists". Cardinal
Arinze, who has links with the Moslems, Jordan, the
World Moslem League and Turkey, also had severe criticism of
those who demand that their religion is
"superior" to others, and want their countries to have "one
religion". We live in a "global village" Arinze
insisted, we should have "Unity and Diversity".
RUDDOCK SPEAKS
The Hon. Philip Ruddock MP, Minister for Immigration and
Multicultural Affairs, addressed the entire
assembly, he said: "in February...I met with the United Nations
Special Rapporteur on Religious Tolerance,
Mr. Abdelfattah Amor during his visit to this country at the
invitation of the Australian Government. His role
at the UN is to assess the situation of human rights and
specifically examine incidents and Government
actions which are inconsistent with the provisions of the
Declaration on the Elimination of all Forms of
Intolerance and of Discrimination based on Religion or Belief."
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL, SIR WILLIAM DEANE, SPEAKS
"The cultures and traditions of the original inhabitants
of our continent stretch back into the
Dreamtime of 60,000 years ago. When the first Europeans
arrived in 1788 to establish a
militarily-run penal settlement, they made little
sustained effort to understand the nature or the
content of those cultures and traditions or the strength
of the bonds between the indigenous
peoples and their land or territory. Nor was there any
real understanding of the extent to
which indigenous belief in the supernatural enriched the
lives of the Aborigines...
This afternoon is not an occasion for me to become
involved in a debate about what can and
cannot be characterized as 'a religion'. I would, however,
venture the view that, if one accepts
- as Theravada Buddhism demonstrates and the highest court
in this country has held - that
one can have a religion which is not based on the
relationship with a particular deity, it would
seem clear enough that not only culturesbut also the first
religions of our land were those of
the indigenous peoples.
...Today, it can truly be said not only that, apart from
Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders,
we Australians are all immigrants or descended from
immigrants....
The theme and sub-themes of this Conference focus on the
challenge and responsibility of
best exploiting the advantages, while avoiding the
pitfalls, of religious and cultural diversity
at both national and international levels." (End of
quotes).
WHAT IS THE WORLD CONFERENCE (COUNCIL) ON RELIGION AND PEACE?
A quote here from Cornelius R.Ferreira will enlighten the
reader:
"One of the long-standing goals of the Masonic New World
Order seems finally within grasp:
its one-world church, in the making for over 150 years, is
about to become institutionalized as
the United Religions Organization - the UR. Collaborating
on the details are Bishop William
Swing of the Episcopal (USA for Anglican) Diocese of
California; the Communist Gorbachev
Foundation/USA; and certain leaders of the Catholic
Church, working through the
Interreligious organization known as the World Conference
of Religion and Peace.
Plans for the formation of the UR were first revealed by
Bishop Swing at the syncretic service
held to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the
signing of the United Nations Charter.
Attending the service in San Francisco's Grace Episcopal
Cathedral on June 25, 1995, were
representatives of all religions as well as political and
spiritual luminaries like Princess
Margaret of Britain, Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of
South Africa, the president Lech
Walesa of Poland and UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros
Ghali.
One might ask why a religious service (of sorts - it was
permeated with consciousness-raising
politics) was held to mark the founding of a political
group. The answer is that INTERFAITH
religiosity is now a must for important social and
cultural events, especially those involving
world figures, as this gives credibility and form to the
concept of a ONE-WORLD religion and
community."
SAN FRANCISCO CHOSEN AS HEADQUARTERS
The event held in Melbourne this July, 1997, under the umbrella
of WCRP and the Multicultural Foundation,
is not an isolated religious happening, which only wants
"peace" "harmony" and "tolerance". It is an
internationally planned event, under the headship of the New
World Order for the forming of a One-World
Church. Behind the scenes lurks Henry Kissinger, the
Bilderbergers, The Committee of Three Hundred, the
Rockefeller brothers - and let us not forget Maurice Strong,
who just "happened" to be in Sydney at the
same time as the conference! Did the Archbishop of Canterbury
meet with Strong when he just "happened"
to be in Sydney when he left Melbourne? I should think it
impossible to believe otherwise!
Who is Strong?
He is the New Age international leader who has an 10,000 acres
Interfaith/political CENTRE in Baca Grande,
USA, where all the religions meet with the New World Order
elitists. Henry Kissenger, the Rockefellers,
Madeleine Allbright, Bill Clinton, Al Gore - and all the others
meet there.
THE ONE-WORLD CHURCH IS EXPECTED TO OPERATE FROM THIS JUNE,
1997
According to UR literature, the United Religions Organization
(UR) had the launching of its written charter
this June, 1997. The institution should be fully in place by
June 2000, and globally operational by June, 1905.
The headquarters will be at the Presidio, the former military
base in San Francisco, USA. Ferreira informs us
that the UR is patterned after the UN, it has a General
Assembly, a Security Council and a Secretary-General,
"the UR is meant to be for religions what the UN is for
nations". THE GLOBAL ETHIC. The intent to get into
Australian society the GLOBAL ETHIC was evident at the
Melbourne WCRP gathering. All the way along,
through the conference, the naive delegates were confronted
with the responsibility of making judgments,
contributing ideas and spiritual inspiration for an Australian
Ethic. However, it was clear to this observer that
HANSKUNG'S and LEONARD SWINDLER'S GLOBAL ETHIC would be trotted
out eventually. I was not
disappointed. Towards the end of the proceedings, the Global
Ethic was cited as a wonderful example of a
unified ethical tenet which could be followed in Australia.
When I challenged about the lack of even the
mention of God in the Global Ethic, it was gratifying to find
that others there were grateful to have this
pointed out to them. However, what "god" would this represent
anyway, if a "god" was added to an
Australian Ethic? There were a least a dozen "deities"
represented at WCRP. There was much talk of a
"global theology" being compiled, said as though it was a
spontaneous thought that had arisen during
discussions. Not so - the New World Order has already decided
what that "global theology" will be -
worship of Gaia Mother Earth included!
In October 1996, the second State of the World Forum, at which
the UR was presented to the globe, the
Global Ethic was basically decided upon. Hans Kung, a Catholic
theologian, is the chief compiler of that
Ethic. He said to the UN in 1991: "religions must...work with
world outlooks that are not religious but that
propose views on the deep meaning of life and ethics for
living." The global ethic "must center on both man
and universe so that HUMANISTIC and religious precepts are
included."
His Eminence Cardinal Francis Arinze said in his opening
address:
"What are we going to do with the people in the world who
are willing to die for their faith?"
He was speaking of the imperative of accepting all religions as
truth, all gods as the same god. What will they
do indeed, for there is but One who died on the Cross for the
sin of the world; One alone who is the Son of
God; One alone who is uniquely the Way, the Truth and the Life.
GOD has said,
Beside the many non-Christian speakers, the conference featured
Fr.GustavoGutierrez, one of the founders of
Liberation Theology (Christianized Marxism); the President of
the ROCKEFELLER Foundation (WHICH
PROVIDED FINANCING); Hans Kung, a WCRP international president.
discredited by the Pope as a
Catholic theologian, but called to present his global ethic
(the Assembly sub-theme was "Isolation and
Indifference: Searching for a Global Ethic"); and Cardinal
Martini of Milan, who is friendly towards Masonry,
who wants another Vatican Council to reconsider women's
ordination... and who is promoting himself as the
next Pope.
Also speaking were Roger Cardinal Etchegaray, President of the
Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and
Francis Cardinal ARINZE, President of the PontificaL Council
for Interreligious DIALOGUE. CARDINAL
ETCHEGARAY, AIDED by the WCRP, was the chief organizer of the
first Assisi Interreligious prayer
meeting in 1986."
Who was this "Cardinal Arinze" who "graced" our shores in
Australia this July, 1997? He is a World Adviser
to the United Nations', New World Order's syncretic WORLD
THANKSGIVING SQUARE in Dallas, Texas.
He also is considered by many, many people to be the
front-runner in the race to succeed Pope John Paul 11.
FROM THE MELBOURNE AGE, Tuesday 29th July:
"The Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. George Carey, says Mass
for Melbourne students at St
Paul's Cathedral. He also addressed the first Religion and
Cultural Diversity Conference in
Melbourne, saying the issue was 'one of the most important
questions the human family has
to grapple with.'... the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr.
George Carey, and one of the leaders of
the Catholic church, Cardinal Francis Arinze, urged
religions to work together to overcome
intolerance, particularly racism....
Cardinal Arinze,...backed the Archbishop's comments.
Cardinal Arinze, who is tipped by many
to be the next pope, said living in harmony required the
cooperation of religious leaders and
policy makers....The conference, which was attended by
more than 250 international religious
leaders and scholars, ends tomorrow."
THE GUIDELINES FOR INTERRELIGIOUS UNDERSTANDING:
The April 1996 issue of "Fellowship in Prayer", had Thomas
Keating's (OCSO) article "Guidelines for
Interreligious Understanding". A Roman Catholic Priest,
Keating's article contains revealing data on the
united "spirituality" of a variety of world's religions -
Buddhist, Tibetan Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Islamic,
Native American, Russian Orthodox, Protestant, and Roman
Catholic.
This data was gathered after several united religious meetings
over a number of years. The religious leaders
were in agreement on eight points, under the heading of
ULTIMATE REALITY. I have listed seven, as given
in "Foundation", May/June, 1996:
1. The world religions bear witness to the experience of
Ultimate reality to which they give
various names: Brahman, Allah, Absolute, God, Great
Spirit.
2. Ultimate Reality cannot be limited to any name or
concept.
3. Faith is the opening, accepting and responding to
Ultimate Reality. Faith in this sense
precedes every belief system.
4. The potential for human wholeness - or in other frames
of reference, enlightenment,
salvation, transformation, blessedness, nirvana - is
present in every human person.
5. Ultimate Reality may be experienced not only through
religious practices but also through
nature, art, human relationships, and service of others.
6. As long as human condition is experienced as separate
from Ultimate Reality, it is subject to
ignorance and illusion, weakness and suffering.
7. Prayer is communion with Ultimate Reality, whether it
is regarded as personal, impersonal or
beyond them both. (end of quote).
