Event Description
Religion is often thought of as a cause of conflict. Zealous practitioners of one tradition fight the zealous practitioners of another in the name of God – in defiance of the emphasis each theological system places on peace. In its fourth issue, the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue™ seeks to examine where and why religious conflicts take place – and how conflicts carried out in the name of religion can be mitigated or transformed. The issue will be guest edited by Dr. William F. Vendley, Secretary General of Religions for Peace. For more, please see the complete Call for Submissions.

I think human nature over rides our spiritual selves and inacts violence given the opportunity. The hurts of the past, the ideologys of culture, human selfishness, the reluctance to forgive and the divisions of race cloud our judgements. We need to let our religion pervade our inner self , rather than just be apart of our everyday activity. Real religion does no harm. It's about time we awoke to the fact that bad people use religion as a cloak to justify their crimes.
