Interfaith Dialogue for Peace: HWPL WARP Office Signboard Hanging Ceremony and Peace Agreement in South Korea

 [HWPL] HWPL Global 09 Branch signed a peace agreement with Guwolsa and Yeonhwasa Temples in South Korea to promote interfaith dialogue and practical cooperation for peace.

On September 26, an interfaith peace initiative was held at Guwolsa Temple in Bucheon, South Korea, where HWPL Global 09 Branch conducted a WARP Office signboard hanging ceremony and signed a peace agreement with Guwolsa and Yeonhwasa Temples. 

The event marked a step forward in strengthening interreligious dialogue and promoting religion as a foundation for peace rather than division.

Approximately 30 participants, including religious leaders and civil society representatives, attended the ceremony. 

The program included opening remarks, a presentation on HWPL’s global peace activities, the unveiling and installation of the WARP Office signboards, the signing of a memorandum of understanding, and a commemorative photo session. 

Following the ceremony, HWPL and the two temples formally agreed to cooperate on peace-oriented initiatives.

Religious leaders emphasized that interfaith harmony is achieved not by eliminating differences, but by understanding and respecting them. 

Speakers noted that religion should guide individuals and communities toward reconciliation, social cohesion, and mutual coexistence. 

The agreement reflected a shared commitment to preventing religious conflict through continuous dialogue and cooperation.

In closing remarks, an HWPL representative stated that sustainable peace becomes reality when the unique values and wisdom of each religion serve as the basis for mutual respect. 

HWPL reaffirmed its role as a global peace initiative working alongside diverse religious communities to advance dialogue-based peacebuilding.

Following the agreement, HWPL Global 09 Branch and the two temples will expand collaboration through youth peace education, community compassion programs, and ongoing interfaith cooperation. 

This initiative presents a practical model of faith-based peacebuilding in South Korea with relevance to international civil society and global peace efforts.
