Abrahamic Discussion Series-Religious Freedoms and Minority Rights
Rumi Forum was founded in 1999 with the mission to foster intercultural dialogue, stimulate thinking and exchange of opinions on supporting and fostering democracy and peace and to provide a common platform for education and information exchange. The Forum contributes to this ultimate aim by means of conferences, panel discussions, community engagement, luncheons, publications and other activities. In particular the forum has an interest in issues regarding pluralism, peace building and conflict resolution, intercultural and interfaith dialogue, social harmony and justice, civil rights and community cohesion.
On April 6, 2016, the Rumi Forum held a discussion concerning
religious freedom and minority rights with a distinguished
Abrahamic panel that included Rev. Dr. Larry
Buxton, Rabia Chaudry, and Rabbi Bruce Kahn.
