Freedom of Religion

The U.S. State Department recently released its annual report on the state of religious freedom across the globe. (Read the report at http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2009/index.htm) Dr. Chris Seiple will join us to discuss the report. Dr. Seiple is the president of the Institute for Global Engagement, a "think-tank with legs" that promotes sustainable environments for religious freedom worldwide. A graduate of Stanford, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Fletcher School for Law & Diplomacy, he is also the founder of The Review of Faith & International Affairs (www.rfiaonline.org), a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute (Philadelphia), a member at the Council on Foreign Relations (New York), and a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (London).
