The Story of Louise Firouz, the American who Discovered the Caspian Horse in Iran
Baskerville Institute is dedicated to enhancing friendship and understanding between Americans and Iranians. We highlight the many ways in which Americans and Iranians have collaborated to make the world a better place.
By focusing on the positive contributions that Americans and Iranians have made to one another, and we can help to build an understanding relationship and a peaceful world.
Christianity & Islam: Friendship & Contemporary Challenges
Religion has often been used to divide people and vilify those of other faith traditions. However, we believe that a profound understanding of both Christianity and Islam will lead to the rejection of violence and extremism and the affirmation of peace and coexistence. This webinar will explore the ways in which Muslims and Christians can walk together in friendship to build the peaceful world that God intended. Our distinguished panel of academics and religious leaders from Iran and the United States will guide us through this important discussion at this critical juncture: Christianity and Islam, Friendship, and Contemporary Challenges.
