At Pathways for Mutual Respect, we are aware of
the urgent need for conciliatory progress in global conflict areas.
Far from being a merely idealistic goal, we believe that ordinary
people, properly equipped, can become agents of effective change. Our
long term work involves peacebuilding and reconciliation between the
people of the US and Iran. We're also passionate about stewarding our
expertise to empower individuals and communities in the West for more
effective intercultural relations with the Islamic world.
The journey towards mutual understanding,
respect and trust is one winding through hills and valleys. It can be
difficult to find and even more difficult to stay on. We believe it
takes true humility, willingness to first listen, a sober look at our
own shortcomings, and commitment over time. This approach won't work
for everyone, but in the most intractable situations, nothing else has
worked either!
Simply put, Pathways creates extraordinary
opportunities for ordinary, very different people to engage one another
in intercultural discovery, dialogue, and collaboration - more often
than not resulting in life changes for everyone involved. If this
rings with you, why don't you consider joining us. We're pretty
confident you'll be glad you did.
