Abstract

The sustainability necessary to make the world a better place rests on five Ps – People, Peace, Prosperity, Partnership and Planet. Sustainable community systems are organic spaces where there is peace born of justice. Sustainability as peace is seen as the result of partnership, a partnership that is for betterment – in other words, for prosperity. Without people, peace, partnership, prosperity, the planet will not be taken care of. Can there be sustained peace, dialogue within different religious communities, religion acting as an instrument in maintaining communities that live in and with peace?
