The Civic Friendship Initiative:
A joint project between the Baskerville Institute & Foundation for Religious Diplomacy
The Civic Friendship Initiative will examine theological and ethical foundations of friendship and explore how friendship between diverse religious groups can be practically inspired and spread contagiously by facilitating ‘Heart and Mind’ conversations between thought leaders, arranging trust building/problem solving workshops in regions of conflict. Civic Friendship also organizes bi-monthly webinars that explore religious dynamics of friendship and friendship dynamics of religion.
