We are pleased to announce that the 2009 International Faculty Development Seminar Religious Diversity and Conflict in France has been featured In the June 8th Reuters Blog ‘French, U.S. Imams Talk About Being Muslim Military Chaplains’.
The seminar, running for eight days in early June, incorporates talks by major scholars of religion and society with a focus on daily life (schools, hospitals, prisons, and the army) through the perspective of the chaplain. In 2009, four U.S. chaplains representing various religions were able to participate due to the support of the U.S Embassy in Paris. Another seminar on religious diversity in France will run in the summer of 2010. Please check www.ciee.org/IFDS in early July for 2010 IFDS listings.
