Practical Peace-building Activities
The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) focuses on education, health, and rural and economic development in the poorest communities in twenty-five countries. Since 1957, Imam Aga Khan has served as the spiritual leader of the global Ismaili community, a Shiite sect that has emphasized the importance of social service, economic self-sufficiency, educational opportunities, and community development. AKDN supports research, microfinance, first-class hospitals, rural planning and housing projects, and the preservation of historical cultural institutions. The network has made enormous contributions to Islamic and non-Islamic communities to further civil society activities and interreligious and cross-civilizational dialogue.

Making interreligious dialogue perhaps more difficult than it need be, those of us interested in the religious domain tend to miss the obvious: that we share an interest in the same domain. Our intra-domain differences, I submit, are dwarfed by the distance from our planet to others…such as the planet of the stock market enthusists. For more, if you are interested, pls see my post. http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/missing-the-obvious-in-religious-discussion-something-we-have-in-common/
