Faculty Roundtable Series – The Role of Religious Leaders in Addressing Global Conflict

HJI’s Faculty Roundtable Series for this month occurred on May 14 at 7:00 pm ET, The Role of Religious Leaders in Addressing Global Conflict, and was presented by Dr. Drissa Kone, Associate Professor of Ministry and Conflict Resolution.
Throughout the world, there are numerous conflicts, including Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Lebanon, Mali and Nigeria. While we may consider such conflicts are fundamental geopolitical, there are multiple factors at play; some political, some economic, some ethnic, and some religious. In this webinar attention will be given the role role that religious leaders may play in areas such as faith-based diplomacy, preventive peacebuilding and post-conflict peacebuilding. For anyone interested in the way in which faith leaders provide impactful leadership in conflict situations across the world, this webinar will be of great interest.
Hosted by HJI President Dr. Thomas Walsh, we were welcomed to a roundtable filled with valuable insights on peace and public leadership.
