NOTICE OF GLOBAL PEACE CONFERENCE
ANNOUNCING A GLOBAL PEACE CONGRESS LIKE NO OTHER***
Congress of Planetary Initiatives
Marriot University Park Hotel,Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
August 24-26, 2007

The Purpose of this unique Global Gathering is to foster serious and immediate Dialog, in the hope of maintaining it on a continuing basis thereafter, between all the extant Paradigms/ World-Views/ Interests / Ideologies that have divided the Human World into disparate, and often feuding, Sectarian Groupings. The Dialog will be, thereby, between the varied Polarities instituted by Geography, Gender, Ideology, Ethnicity, Language, Philosophy, Religion, Culture, and Politics (e.g. East-West, Men-Women, Tradition-Modernity, Conservative-Radical, North-South, etc.).
The Object is to locate all possible Areas of Agreement that can serve to foster a World-Wide Affiliation of Peoples who can, while maintaining and respecting Difference, sincerely find Common Cause that will sustain the continued existence of Planetary Life forms under threat today by both Violence and Greed. The Congress will Adopt appropriate Resolutions, both collectively and separately, in all spheres, including Plans for instituting Means, Mechanisms, and Modalities to realize them, in a consilient Spirit of Consensus, and establish the basis for future expansion of the Areas of Mutual Agreement in Ideas, Visions, and Possibilities.
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
We are currently soliciting Applications for Participants to enhance the nature of Dialogue at this unique Global Peace Congress to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah from August 24-26, 2007. We have on board outstanding and distinguished Panelists, drawn from all over the world, who will, it is hoped, in a highly personal, dynamic interactive process with invited Participants, arrive at new salves for old global problems.
Whilst Panelists will lead discussions, Participants will have a vital role to play as well in debating and challenging Panelists, with Final Resolutions being a truly Collective Effort of the gathering as a whole. Full details of the Program as well as names of all Attending Panelists may be viewed at www.congress2007.net ( http://www.congress2007.net/ )
At this point we are provisioned for 300 Participants only, selected from around the world. Applications will be reviewed on a first come/first processed basis. The Application form and further details are available on our website. Applicants are asked to indicate their background, their Interest in, and rationale for, participation, and their ability to fund it on their own account.
