ii.  Partial Listing of Potential Resource Contributors

 

As previously described, this InterFaith Settlement maintains certain self sufficiency through the cultivation of agriculture, production of light industry, and the trade of products and services with other individuals and organisations in the locality of this InterFaith Settlement as well as throughout the World.  This self sufficiency and trade, however, is predicated upon the appropriate provision of land to this InterFaith Settlement.  And within this provision of land, there may be considered to be a transitional process.  Within this transitional process, additional support can be provided to this InterFaith Settlement to facilitate the transfer of land and the maintenance of the additional necessary resources previously described as being required by the residents of this InterFaith Settlement. 

 

This additional support can be provided by religious communities and congregations;  interFaith institutions, organisations, groups, and initiatives;  the United Nations and the intergovernmental entities of the United Nations as well as those of the international community;  the respective governments of the nations of the World;  specific international initiatives and programmes including the Alliance of Civilisation and the Club of Rome;  additional think tanks, philanthropic, and global institutions, organisations, and groups;  as well as benevolent and advocacy organisations.
