Faith-based humanitarianism has become a growth industry in recent years, channeling the influence of privately held religious commitments into the public sphere around the globe. Yet surprisingly little is known about these initiatives – and to what extent their religious inspiration might help or hinder their success, particularly in troubled regions marked by religious division and conflict. This forum, co-sponsored by The Fordham Center on Religion and Culture and the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs, will compare faith-based organizations to their secular counterparts and look at how they are transforming the landscape of humanitarian intervention today. Free and open to the public. RSVP to CRCevent@fordham.edu or 212-636-7347.
