About This Forum
The IEP21 Forum is a web log (yes, a blog) designed to provide the latest news, commentary, and event information from the Interreligious Engagement Project.
In addition, the Forum is home to the ongoing Global Dialogue of Civilizations: “Muslim Cultures and Western Cultures in Quest for Justice and Peace”.
The Dialogue of Civilizations project is designed to engage the global Muslim community and the West in deeper encounter and dialogue in order to promote greater understanding, mutual respect, and cooperative common action. The project will be a multi-year undertaking, culminating in a Conference convened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the next few years. The Dialogue Conference will be preceded by an continuing online dialogue to refine the themes, format, working sections, agenda, and draft plan for the event. The web-based consultations will also develop a series of recommended projects that will be implemented before and after the Kuala Lumpur gathering. These joint action efforts will address critical issues of peace, justice, and ecological sustainability. (To enter the Dialogue section of the Forum, click on “Dialogue” under “Categories”.)
