ニューイングランドの母校からの報告

Dear Alumni and Friends of HDS:

I'm delighted to announce the launch of a bold new program at Harvard Divinity School. The Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative (RCP) is a groundbreaking collaboration between HDS and Harvard Kennedy School that will enable scholars to study the role that religious communities play in violent conflict-and in promoting sustainable peace.

Funded by Ramez Sousou, AB '85, MBA '92, and his wife Tiziana and part of the One Harvard Sustainable Peace Initiative, RCP will bring together HDS's Religious Literacy Project (RLP) and initiative on Religions and the Practice of Peace (RPP) with HKS's Middle East Initiative (MEI). This cross-faculty approach has immense potential to produce new insights both for those who study religion and the Middle East and for leaders in the field of conflict resolution.

I hope you'll visit the HDS website and learn more about RCP. We are truly excited and eager to embark on this important work.

Sincerely,

David N. Hempton
Dean of the Faculty of Divinity
Alonzo L. McDonald Family Professor of Evangelical Theological Studies
John Lord O'Brian Professor of Divinity
