Webinar Series~30th anniversary of Institute of Interfaith Dialogue in Indonesia (INTERFIDEI) ~1991-2021~

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of INTERFIDEI. To celebrate, aseries of webinars will be held. This is the third webinar that focuses on the crucial mission and the challenges of the interfaith movement in the Asia-Pacific region. Some Representatives of the ACRP national chapters will make presentations as resource persons.

Working together in the peace movement is very important and necessary for us in our daily lives as a society, both at the local, national, regional, and global levels. We always see how conflict easily takes the form of violence – which in turn causes suffering and humanitarian catastrophe. Starting from prejudice, stereotypes, truth claims to the question of injustice and untruth in social, cultural, economic, and political dynamics in society and nations.

We believe that a collaborative movement for peace can prevent, deal with, overcome and even transform conflict into a “new,” mutually reinforcing life together.
