21ST CENTURY CHALLENGES

The most serious threat confronting the world today is the potential marriage of religious extremism with weapons of mass destruction.  

Billions of dollars have been spent to address the symptoms of this problem, with little targeted at underlying cause. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The International Center for Religion & Diplomacy is about "cause" and has as its highest priority the task of preventing conflict rather than dealing with its consequences after the fact.

RELIGION AS PART OF THE SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

Central to the Center's approach is its ability to capitalize on the positive role that religious leaders and institutions can play in building trust and overcoming differences.  By linking religious reconciliation with official or unofficial diplomacy, ICRD has created a new synergy for peacemaking.
