Love of God & Love of Neighbour
or Love of the Good & Love of Neighbour
💠
are the tenets of WIHW 
The World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on the pioneering work of The Common Word initiative which called for Muslim and Christian leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious Commandments: Love of God, and Love of the Neighbour. The Two Commandments are at the heart of the three Monotheistic religions and therefore provide the most solid theological ground possible.💠
The World Interfaith Harmony Week extends the Two Commandments by adding ‘Love of the Good, and Love of the Neighbour’.
This formula includes all people of goodwill.
It includes those of other faiths, and those with no faith. 
Love of God & Love of Neighbour
or Love of the Good & Love of Neighbour

Following in the footsteps of her parents, who attended the 350th anniversary passion play in 1984, Lea and her husband Dean were privileged to attend the 42nd OPP on June 22, 2022. This talk was Lea’s reflection on that experience and on the fundamental reforms that have been made to the production since Christian Stuckl became the director of the 39th play in 1990.
