PANEL
Restorative Justice and Exploratory Faith:
A Model for Intercultural Peace and Cooperation
Convened by the Global Ethics and Religion Forum, USA
Friday July 9, 2004
11:30 am-1:00 pm
Peace, listening, and a commitment to restorative justice are the central themes of this panel presentation. Participants will be presented with a model of intercultural exchange which works within and through religious and cultural traditions rather than "managing" them towards objectively rational ends. Developing the listening, healing, and exploratory aspects of justice and peace through religious dialogue, the panel will address their role in development education, reconciliation processes, and spiritual peacemaking.
