Christian, Muslim, and Jewish contributors explore the formidable potential of interfaith dialogue in Interfaith Dialogue, edited by the director of the Religion and Peacemaking initiative, David Smock.

The Religion and Peacemaking Initiative helps facilitate the resolution of international disputes through aiding the efforts of faith-based organizations. The program also expands knowledge about the actual and potential roles of religious organizations in international peacemaking. The principal goal is to aid American faith-based organizations in their international peacemaking work, which they usually undertake in partnership with communities of faith abroad.

This initiative focuses on the increasingly significant role of faith-based peacemaking efforts by providing workshops and special projects, publications, and facilitation activities.

Through workshops, publications and other tools, the Religion and Peacemaking Initiative promotes the exchange of information and lessons learned among interested faith communities.

The initiative runs an electronic forum for those engaged in the field of religion and peacemaking.

This section provides links to resources that contain substantive content on religion and peacemaking activities of various faiths.

The Institute's current Religion and Peacemaking Initiative builds upon the work of an earlier initiative called the Religion, Ethics and Human Rights Initiative .
