CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/18/08 -- In the hopes of reconciling tensions between the world's major religions, Saudi King Abdullah opened an interfaith conference in Madrid Wednesday. With the same goal of interfaith dialogue, a Chicago-based communications agency recently developed Pray At Abraham's Table, an online community committed to religious understanding and prayers for peace.
Created by Derek Simons of Angels Studio, a communications agency in Chicago, Abraham's Table invites Jews, Christians, Muslims and people of all faiths to share their prayers for peace online. Described as a "mingling of shared prayers to our one God," Abraham's Table allows visitors to the web site to post their own reflections, explore the prayers of other faith traditions, and discover ways to nurture peace in their own lives.
Inspired by the common roots of the world's three largest religions -- all branches of the family tree of Abraham -- Simons created the online gathering place to "foster a more positive, peaceful bond with different faiths." He explains, "While religions have often misunderstood each other, we are probably more aware than ever of the dangers of intolerance in our world. Abraham's Table is, we hope, a place where visitors can open their hearts to different traditions and different people -- all of whom share the common goal of peace in our world."
