Religious Reconciliation in Iraq

Canon Andrew White, president of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East (FRRME), has made heroic efforts to promote religious and sectarian reconciliation in Iraq. He helped organize the Iraqi Inter-Religious Congress, through which he has brought together top religious leaders from all of Iraq's religious communities. As a consequence, many of these leaders have become forces to promote sectarian harmony and peace. Much of this work has been undertaken with financial support from USIP. White is also author of Iraq: Searching for Hope.

At this workshop, White will share his assessment of the state of inter-sectarian relations in Iraq and his recommendations for how to promote greater reconciliation and peace.
