Peace?

Peace does not seem to be the default relationship between people that are different in any way.  In many ways, the same may be said of the relationship between Muslims and Christians.  But we owe it to the world to ask the question...is peace possible?  Today, I'm talking to Nicole Wriedt at Peace Catalyst International about ongoing efforts to bridge that divide.  

Nicole Wriedt is Program Director in San Diego with Peace Catalyst International, an organization that supports Christian-Muslim peacemaking through experiential learning opportunities. Christians and Muslims comprise over half the wold’s population. We’ve seen what happens when our mutual mistrust swells into hatred and violence. We believe in our capacity to be a powerful reconciling force as allies and friends.


Before joining Peace Catalyst, Nicole was based in India for two years, working as the Programs and Partnerships Director for an international sports-based peacebuilding non-profit. Nicole holds a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, concentrating on Christian-Muslim relations, and a Certificate in Youth Program Development from Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
