七大信仰传统领袖齐聚Salt Lake City：G20宗教论坛开幕礼创犹他州历史纪录

10月16日，G20宗教论坛（Interfaith Forum，IF20）在美国犹他州Salt Lake City圣殿广场的历史会幕（Historic Tabernacle）举行开幕礼。据主办方发布，出席的七大信仰传统高级领袖同台致辞，这是Salt Lake City历史上规模最大的宗教领袖聚会。东道主、耶稣基督后期圣徒教会会长达林·奥克斯（Dallin H. Oaks）欢迎与会代表，并肯定论坛倡导和平的工作。他说：「这无疑是Salt Lake City有史以来最显赫的信仰领袖阵容。」他表示该教会愿支持论坛的和平努力：「我们希望成为你们努力的一部分。」

主宾、穆斯林世界联盟秘书长谢赫穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒卡里姆·阿尔伊萨（Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa）发表开幕主旨演讲。他警告，仇恨言论经数字平台放大，已成为暴力的入口，而且常借用宗教语言。他说：「乐观是等事情自己变好；希望则是有良知的人作出的决定，是愿意为明天做艰苦工作的意愿。」他同时直言，以神之名发动的不义战争，「不是神圣的旗帜，而是撒旦的旗帜」。

同日在Salt Lake City，犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯（Spencer Cox）、前南卡罗来纳州州长大卫·比斯利（David Beasley）与马丁·路德·金三世（Martin Luther King III）共同为论坛揭幕，呼吁信仰群体带头走出相互蔑视的时代，践行「更好地表达分歧」（disagree better）。Religions for Peace秘书长弗朗西斯·库里亚·卡盖马（Francis Kuria Kagema）在开幕礼上说：「作为信仰领袖，我们共享一份行动的道德责任。我们必须想象一个神圣的、共享繁荣的世界。」（GSM 据 G20 宗教论坛主办方经 EIN Presswire 发布的开幕通报整理）

Feature | Faith Leaders of Seven Traditions Gather in Salt Lake City for G20 Interfaith Forum

The G20 Interfaith Forum (IF20) opened on October 16 at the Historic Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Senior leaders of seven faith traditions addressed the opening ceremony, in what organizers described as the largest gathering of interfaith leaders in Utah history. President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who hosted the evening, welcomed delegates and praised the Forum's work as advocates for peace. 'Surely this is the most prominent constellation of faith leaders that has ever gathered in Salt Lake City,' Oaks said, pledging the Church's support: 'We want to be part of your efforts.'

Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary General of the Muslim World League, delivered the opening keynote as guest of honor. He warned that hate speech, increasingly amplified by digital platforms, is the gateway to violence, and that it often borrows the language of religion. 'Optimism waits for things to improve on their own,' Al-Issa said. 'Hope, however, is a decision taken by people of living conscience and a willingness to do hard work for tomorrow.' He was equally direct about violence in God's name: any unjust war, 'including those made in the name of religion, is not a divine banner, but a satanic one.'

Also in Salt Lake City, Utah Governor Spencer Cox, former South Carolina Governor David Beasley and Martin Luther King III kicked off the Forum by urging faith communities to lead the way out of an era of contempt and to 'disagree better.' Dr. Francis Kuria Kagema, Secretary General of Religions for Peace, told the opening ceremony: 'As faith leaders, we share a moral responsibility to act. We must imagine a world of sacred shared flourishing.' (GSM, from the Forum's opening release via EIN Presswire)
