Introduction to Yale's Faith and Globalization Initiative
The impact of religious faith is profound in a world where political, economic, and social spheres are increasingly interconnected. Intentional and sustained reflection on the crucial issues of faith and globalization can lead to the kind of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence that life in the 21st century demands.
As a way of considering these essential questions, Yale, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, has launched the Faith and Globalization Initiative. This three-year effort will explore a variety of topics and issues －in the classroom, in formal lectures and informal conversation, and through research, speeches, conferences, and the internet. The initial topics included on this website represent a starting point in the conversation about faith and globalization. Additional areas will be addressed and added to this web site as the Initiative takes further shape in the months and years ahead.

These are times of tumultuous change. The twentieth century order is history; and the forces of globalization are pushing all of the economies of the world – and all of the citizens of the world, with their great diversity of religious faiths – more closely together.
