Continued Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization, Volume II: The G20 Interfaith Forum During Unsettled Times (2018-2023)

by Sherrie M Steiner (Other), James T Christie (Other)

Overview

If you are worried about the future of the earth and her inhabitants, then this book is for you. Authors from East and West document collaborative efforts that identify diverse faith-based ethical responses to global challenges. The history of this cosmopolitan fragile partnership with governments illuminates a positive pathway that affirms human rights and promotes sustainable solutions. We employ a new interfaith model built on the political philosophy of loyal opposition to demonstrate an openness to dissent and diversity as a way of cultivating trust. Contentious issues are addressed from climate change and geopolitics to human rights and religious freedom.
