The Axis of Friendship Welcomes You!

On September 12, 2001, just hours after the tragic attacks of September 11th, millions around the world shared their sorrow with people in the United States. The world's sympathy came from many places. Throughout Europe, churches rang their bells and held a minute of silence at noon. Despite U.S. perceptions of enmity with Iran, thousands of people lit candles and stood in silence in the streets of Tehran in solidarity with the people of the United States.

This spontaneous goodwill is a transformative power for interfaith and cross-cultural understanding throughout the world―an Axis of Friendship. Why an Axis of Friendship?

• An axis means a turning point of the world that transforms life.
• Mountains, columns of fire, steeples, minarets, pagodas, great trees, and persons, such as prophets or saints, can be sources of divine blessings.
• The September 12 Axis of Friendship identifies a great power of goodwill and peace among peoples of the world.
