Tony Blair & Yale's Faith and Globalization Initiative

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is challenging the world to involve faith in every aspect of public life. To learn more, check this link.

Here is what Tony Blair said recently:

[My Yale teaching] experience has strengthened my belief that religious faith and economic and social globalization are partners – globalization needs values to succeed. In pushing people together, globalization has made multicultural and multi-religious societies, and it is necessary now for human capital and spiritual capital to link. This, combined with an increased need for multi-faith dialogue and action, will in time be seen as a defining question, and perhaps the leading question of the 21st century.
