Dr. Daphne Campbell to Proclaim the Golden Rule

Rep. Daphne Campbell & Dr Clyde Rivers

On September 14, 2013 in North Miami, Dr. Clyde Rivers presented the Golden Rule Award International to Representative Daphne Campbell, the State of Florida Representative for the 108^th District. She received this prestigious award for her willingness to proclaim the Golden Rule to the citizens of North Miami Day County. The Golden Rule states “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”

The Golden Rule International Award is now established in 120 nations of the world. This organization seeks out top achievers that live the Golden Rule in their everyday life. This is a new global ethic that the leadership of the Golden Rule International Award, Patron, current President of Ethiopia, Girma Wolde and Ambassador Mussie Hailu has embraced and is promoting globally. Golden Rule International is also affiliated with the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative (IPI), African Union, the United Nations as well as the United Religions Initiative (URI).

Ambassador Rivers said, “It is a monumental day when we have leaders that are willing to treat others the way they want to be treated.” Rivers said, “It is very important that we are able to dialogue and establish cultures of peace even when we don’t totally agree on everything. The Golden Rule is a global ethic that, when enacted, can and will establish a peaceful world – Peace and Blessings to all.”

Golden Rule Award International is the Solution to World Peace

Ambassador Mussie Hailu and Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers

Ambassador Clyde Rivers speaks about the solution to world peace. He is quoted saying, “There are several issues facing the world today. There are wars, famines, and injustices taking place all over the globe. We are in a catastrophic global decline.

The global community is searching for solutions. Many of the solutions they are looking for would cost billions of dollars that the global community does not possess. What do we do when we can’t buy our way out of a problem?

There is only one solution that can solve these horrendous global issues and it does not have to do with money but with human character – living the Golden Rule. Teaching people to treat others the way they want to be treated would make the most significant change we could imagine. Think about a businessman that wants to treat others they way he would like to be treated? What about the creators of vaccinations that heal the sick? Having the honest desire to see their creation released on the world to bring healing, just like they would want to have help in their own personal wellness. What if leadership around the world would treat those they lead like they would want to be treated? Can you envision the world if we treated others the way we want to be treated? It would be a much better place for mankind. Humanity does not have to agree on everything – just agree to apply the Golden Rule. As the old adage says, “Agree to disagree.”

The Golden Rule is a policy from the Bible and is stated in some form in every religious culture in the world. Encouraging other cultures to live by the policy of treating others the way you want to be treated would bring global change. I plan to continue to bring this new global ethic and work to change the world.”

Announcement from Ambassador Mussie Hailu in Ethiopia:

Dear Friends, Greetings of peace, light and blessing from Africa. Hope this finds you all in peace and good health. I am happy to inform you that the 8th Navajo Nation Vice President, Hon. Rex Lee Jim joined us in proclaiming the Golden Rule Day.

Background information about the Hon. Rex Lee Jim, Vice President of Navajo Nation, Window Rock, AZ. After serving as a ranking member on the Judiciary Committee and Chairman of the Public Safety Committee within the 21st Navajo Nation Council, Delegate Rex Lee Jim was sworn in as Vice President of the Navajo Nation on January 11, 2011.

Born and raised in Rock Point, a small farming and ranching community in northern Arizona. Vice President Jim after graduating from Princeton University started work with the Rock Point Community School teaching Navajo to students K-12. During this time, he developed a curriculum for K-Graduate programs that was culturally and pedagogically appropriate for Navajo students. He has published books and produced plays using the Navajo language. An author, playwright, and medicine man, Vice President Jim continues to make diplomatic trips abroad on behalf of the United Nations to improve relations between nation states and indigenous peoples.

As a representative of the Carter Foundation, the Vice President has helped improve relations between the United States of America and the Andean Countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. Vice President Jim played a key role in the drafting and final passage of the International Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. On 16 December 2010, President Barack Obama declared that the United States is going to sign the declaration.

The Navajo people elected Vice President Jim for his vision to foster the language, traditional songs and prayers, and to ensure the prosperity of the Navajo Nation.

I just received the proclamation from the Vice President. The Golden Rule teaching is spreading to the four corners of the Earth. The more we promote the Golden Rule the more we create a culture of peace, interfaith harmony, understanding, compassion, human right, respect for all forms of life, right human relationships and better world for all.

May Peace Prevail on Earth
In Peace and gratitude

PEACE ACTIVIST DR. CLYDE RIVERS SEEKING GLOBAL PEACE

Dr. Clyde Rivers

Loss of life is at an epidemic level around the world. Dr. Clyde Rivers, a Representative to the United Nations in New York for the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative (IPI), is on a mission to establish cultures of peace within every community in the world. The plan to accomplish this is based on the biblical principle of the Golden Rule, “Treat each other the way you want to be treated.” Dr. Rivers believes this principle will lay a foundation for peaceful dialogue within communities that are in need of peaceful, life-saving results.

Representative and activist, Dr. Clyde Rivers said, “Many nations of the world do not understand the power of peace making. If you have been fortunate enough to live in a country that has never experienced war, you are a blessed person. As a peace activist for the Interfaith Peace-Building Initiative I have seen people living in total fear of what’s going to happen at the end of an election. They are unsure if there will be peace or war and it causes great concern and unrest. This has become a great issue of concern for me and gives me a strong desire to initiate peace globally wherever I go.”
