 www.ACommonWord.com An Epic Event in 2007 -- Editorial Comment --

A Common Word, created by an international size body of prominent Muslims and endorsed by prominent Christians, Muslims, university scholars and a growing list of endorsements should be viewed, we believe, by Christians and others as an epic turning point and opportunity for progress in interreligious dialogue. Peace and Conflict Resolution.Org (our parent website) offers this editorial comment on why we support this first-of-its-kind, broadly organized effort initiated by the Muslim community. This group represents intellectual courage of people inside and outside Islam determined to reach out even in a time of conflict and take control of their own religion in an effort to guide us beyond conflict and resolve differences in the interest of peace.The practical outcome of this effort appears to do no harm and may achieve much in the peace building process. Peace and Conflict Resolution.Org endorses "A Common Word."

GRADUATE THEOLOGICAL UNION:

The Graduate Theological Union is an ecumenical and interreligious crossroads, building bridges among Christian denominations and other faith traditions, and dedicated to educating students for teaching, research, ministry, and service. We seek to achieve our mission in two ways: as a graduate school offering academic programs in a wide range of fields in theology and religious studies, and as the largest partnership of seminaries and graduate schools in the United States. The GTU flourishes as a haven for interdisciplinary religious thought, study, and practice, making a tangible difference for the greatest good – and serving as the place where religion meets the world.


Located in Berkeley, California, where the diversity of cultures and faith traditions reflects our own, study at the GTU is intellectually challenging and rich in resources. Our union is a pioneering educational environment: a graduate school that is a consortium of nine theological seminaries and eight centers and affiliates.  We are blessed with one of the finest theological libraries in the world, an uncommonly large faculty of distinguished scholars, and a close collaborative relationship with our neighboring institution, the University of California, Berkeley. The proximity of our member schools, multifaith centers, and interdisciplinary programs creates a dynamic intellectual community that draws scholars from around the world.

The Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding provides practical programs to prevent the growing problem of verbal and physical conflict based on religion. We are a non-sectarian not-for-profit that works in schools, workplaces and in areas of armed conflict.

education: Children don't begin life filled with fear, hatred and negative stereotypes,
but attitudes form early. We train educators to prepare students to thrive in a multicultural, multi-religious society by providing training and cutting-edge multicultural curricula.

workplace: Religion in the workplace can be tricky. That's why we work with corporations and institutions to create religiously inclusive policies and practices. We train service providers in healthcare and other settings to work with religiously diverse communities.

conflict resolution: Sick of headlines about religion fueling wars? We identify, train and promote religious peacemakers from far and near -- so that they are even more effective in areas of armed conflict.

special programs: Religion has been -- and still is -- used to justify bigotry and hate. Tanenbaum is known for its conferences and publications on the religious roots of prejudice.
