The Civilization
of Love Movement
Humanity’s Next Great Adventure
The Civilization of Love is an international movement, transcending countries, religions, and philosophies, mobilizing humanity to transform institutions and societies, building a global civilization of love. We reject the culture of death with its fear, anger, hate, division, greed and war.
Love
We choose love not as sentimental emotion;
but as transcendent action,
working for each others well-being,
as we would for ourselves.
If Not Love
If not love,
then what?
If not for love,
then why?
If not with love,
then how?
If not now,
then when
If not us,
then who?
~ Tony Bellizzi
“Abundant, transcendent, unconditional, sacrificial love is the only hope humanity ever has.”
