The Initiatory way of Service

The initiatory way to Peace

The International Sufi School has taken interest in the life and works of Emir AbdelKader, Koffi Annan, Baha’U’llah/Abdul’ Baha, Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba, the Dalaï Lama, Shirin Ebadi, Sister Emmanuel, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Wangari Maathai, Nelson Mandela, William Penn, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Teresa and Jody Williams.

Our school has carried out a detailed study on the lives of those fifteen peacemakers who have had such beneficial impact on society that they have become enduring symbols.
