WELCOME
Organizations
in which I work for interreligious dialogue.
The „Academy of responsible excellence“ is dedicated to the sake of mankind
WE CONCEIVE OF OURSELVES as a place of interdisciplinary collaboration in our world, which is increasingly characterized by conflict, speechlessness and social fragmentation. Academics must live up to their responsibility – against fundamentalism and for an open, respectful culture of discussion in cultures and societies. We take a stand on burning issues in global society by proposing directions, admonishing and warning, building up and encouraging.
The Coalition brings together faith-based organizations, spiritual leaders, believers from the world’s religions, scholars and experts in interfaith dialogue and in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. In doing so, I´m also supporting the interfaith Grass Route work of Christians in Need (cin.international).
