New Perspectives on Faith and Development


In association with the RSA

If faith is so often used as a tool to provoke conflict and fragmentation, how can it be a force for positive social change? Can faith groups overcome their differences to work together in development? Do faith communities pose a threat to the state or can they be partners?

Keynote Speakers: Baroness Chalker and Edicio dela Torre

Chair: Paul Vallely

Discussants: Katherine Marchall, Gerrie ter Harr, Jane Cooking, Makki Mohammed
