Religion and ethics in war and peace-making
'Religion and Ethics in War and Peace-Making' is a research and dialogue programme hosted by the Von Hugel Institute at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. The initiative, directed by Dr George R. Wilkes, seeks to investigate the impact of religion (particularly Christianity, Islam and Judaism) on war and peace-making, and to investigate the history of religious war for the lessons that could be learnt. It encourages interreligious dialogue, cooperation and better understanding of the ethical problems posed by armed conflicts, amongst policy-makers and religious practitioners. This homepage contains information about its worldwide network; the activities undertaken by its working groups; and past and upcoming seminars. Viewers can also find articles on the site and links to relevant websites. Intute.ac.uk

The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs was created in 2006 as part of the office of Georgetown University's President. The mission of the Center is to build knowledge, promote dialogue, and to support action "in the service of peace." On the site's homepage, visitors will be presented with five primary sections, including "Programs", "Events", "People", "Media", and "Databases". Many visitors will want to head straight away for the "Databases" area. Here they will find resources designed for students, scholars, and citizens which address faith, gender, and development, along with faith-inspired organizations in the Muslim world. After having a look there, visitors will want to click on the "Recent Publications" section. There's some really terrific material here, including reports on evangelicals and foreign policy, international religious liberty, and religious pluralism. Finally, visitors who are planning a visit to Washington, D.C. can click on the "Events" section to learn about upcoming talks, lectures, and symposia sponsored by the Center.
