Energising a River of Love by Braiding the Work of the Parliament of the World's Religions and the United Nations Through Management Education

Abstract

Global peace and universal justice are aspirations of the Parliament of the World's Religions and the United Nations. Depicted as a braided river, this chapter endorses enhanced dialogue between these two organisations and their impact on peace leadership through a critical focus on the Principles for Responsible Management Education, principles informed by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals sourced in the Global Compact. Currents of such dialogue flowing towards just and sustainable ways of being human are posited as energetic streams of universal peace. The chapter considers divine love as an energy to invigorate leadership for such peace in the context of management education. The chapter does not directly address those for whom spiritual considerations are meaningless except insomuch as differences in ways of being human, spirit[ed], or otherwise energised, must be reconciled if global peace based on universal justice is to be the outcome of individual and collective human activities.
