Topic: Networking Toward World Unity

Presenter(s): Ben Bowler

SCobb and Friends regular Bill McLellan introduced us to Yanni Maniates, Board Chair of Unity Earth, who introduced us to Ben Bowler, its Executive Director. Ben has agreed to join us at 3 a.m. Melbourne time for our 10 a.m. gathering with John Cobb and Friends! In October 2015, at the Parliament of World Religions, Ben launched 1GOD.com, an online platform aimed at countering religious fundamentalism, relativism and western materialism. Since then he has worked to build UNITY EARTH into a global platform that can support and empower the many grassroots movements working towards unity and peace in the world.

See further information about Unity Earth and Ben Bowler here. Among the gifts brings to the table is his experience with aboriginal peoples in Australia. Ben suggests that you check out this YouTube explanation of 1God.com. Among their many projects are World Unity Week, 99 Days of Peace, and Universal Day of Peace. One of our Friends who has been much involved in the launch of the Living Earth Movement is Charles Betterton. (Read about his background at the LEM about page.) He will be able to launch our responses by sharing his experience with the kind of online networking that facilitates a Unity Earth perspective.

Information about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting, send an email to events@cobb.institute. If you would like to receive regular meeting announcements and updates about the Institute, please join our list of Friends.
