Religious tolerance or respect?

Religious tolerance or respect? February 19, 2015

Religion is under fire in the media, with pundits responding with tremendous intensity to President Obama’s statements yesterday on Islam vs. extremism.

Freedom Magazine’s February issue could not be more timely nor more important, as demonstrated by their profile of Chris Seiple, resident of the Institute for Global Engagement:

IS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM the ultimate weapon to defeat terrorism and build world peace? Chris Seiple thinks so, as he told Freedom in a January 2015 interview.

As president of the Institute for Global Engagement, Seiple directs a worldwide effort to construct multifaith partnerships to increase understanding and cooperation among religions. As co-founder and co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable, he helps to promote and advance religious freedom concepts and programs within the Beltway and beyond. As chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Role of Faith, he stands in the forefront of advocacy for the indispensable purpose that religion and religious liberty play in life and society.
