"Leadership for Peace: The Prophets' Teaching and Their Application Today" Essay Abstract: My essay is an examination of the teachings of peace that the Prophets Muhammad, Moses, and Jesus spread throughout their lives and an analysis of how their exemplification of leadership for peace can be applied to the area of conflict in Israel/ Palestine. On the value of the Children of Abraham project: I would say that this project is very important to the understanding of the boundaries and obstacles between the Abrahamic faiths and how the peaceful principles of the Prophets can be applied to solving areas of conflict today. This project encourages students to seriously consider conflicts of local, national, and/ or international importance, promotes understanding of the Abrahamic faiths and how their principles can be applied to peaceful resolutions. While working on this project I have learned much more about the Abrahamic faiths and the peaceful principles they share. As I do not practice any of the Abrahamic faiths, this project opened my eyes to the important role religious values play in establishing and maintaining peace. Researching for this project deeply affected and augmented my understanding of different religions and international relations.
