- Saturday, September 21, 2013
The topic that I have been asked to speak on is highly loaded with concepts, and each of those concepts can stand on its own as a major theme. The Role of Education is one vast theme.

And we have to discuss them from Christian, Islamic and Unification perspectives. It is a huge task to be accomplished in a single presentation.

I. Panjwani: Need for New Models of Interfaith Dialogue in a Multicultural Climate
- Sunday, June 30, 2013
Overall, there needs to be a significant change in the way religious communities tackle interfaith dialogue. In my humble experience, the majority of models currently implemented by faiths are limited, passive, and sometimes, expensive. Let us go back to the spiritual messages of Prophets and saints and use their ethos to really provide solutions to humanity rather than only treating these messages ceremoniously. Perhaps then some of the important objectives of multiculturalism can be realized.

T.I. Hamad: Statement at the Celebration of Africa Day
- Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Education of the heart and intellect, the strengthening of marriage and family, and interfaith dialogue and cooperation are essential in developing an African Renaissance. Renaissance means rebirth. This concept of rebirth has been used to describe a new outburst of intellectual and artistic creativity, and, at the same time, it is commonly used as a term to describe a spiritual awakening. I believe both are necessary and equal parts of an African Renaissance.
