Description

The impact of religious faith is profound in a world where political, economic, and social spheres are increasingly interconnected. Intentional and sustained reflection on the crucial issues of faith and globalization can lead to the kind of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence that life in the 21st century demands. The topics included on this website reflect the conversation about faith and globalization that has been taking place in and out of the classroom. Additional links, articles and digital media are added to the Faith & Globalization website (link at left) as the Initiative takes further shape in the months ahead.
