Issues of religion and world affairs are as salient in the media today as in 2006 when the Berkley Center was founded. And unfortunately much of the news is still negative. Still, there is every reason for hope. The religious people who comprise about four-fifths of humanity overwhelmingly reject faith-inspired violence and identify with values of justice and peace. And religious institutions-communities of worship, schools, hospitals, and aid organizations of different kinds-take roles in world affairs that affirm the essential dignity of human beings and advance the common good.
How can we better tap the positive currents within and across traditions to advance deeper interreligious understanding? And how should we think about-and act on-the changing relationship between religion, violence, and peace in today’s world? The Berkley Center Tenth Anniversary Symposium convened thought leaders and practitioners to address these crucial questions. The symposium was preceded by a keynote address by Madeleine Albright on the afternoon of April 7.
She is very good, fun and forceful. Love her way of explaining things and her voice absolutely relaxes me.
Looking forward to hearing Karen's perception of African Traditional Religions.
i wish i can meet her one day .
I thought the same several times.
Amazing.
She is an inspiration. A paragon in the field.
What's the expression she uttered at 11.22. Was it 'in rough'? Can anyone help me?
Any evidence for supernatural God type beings, who are beyond space and time, yet demand endless praise and worship from evolved primates on our rocky planet?
There is and has been for a while.

Could you kindly provide any evidence for supernatural God type beings.
