Rami Nashashibi (Executive Director of the Inner-City Muslim Action Network) and Joshua Dubois (head of the Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships) spoke to us today.

Why faith? Part 2
October 23rd, 2009

A previous post addressed the religious imperative against malaria from the standpoint of those of us in the US, UK, and Canada. So why is the Faiths Act campaign so explicit about the work of churches and mosques on the ground in sub-Saharan Africa? As it turns out, religious communities in the developing world are [...]
