Tony Blair and Rick Warren at Saddleback

A reminder that later today at Saddleback Church , Rick Warren and Tony Blair will be discussing amongst other things the “five global giants” of Warren’s own PEACE Plan; pandemic diseases, extreme poverty, illiteracy, self-centered leaders and spiritual emptiness. There is so much to follow up on these sites between them:
The US arm of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and The Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

Also have a look at Rick Warren’s PEACE Plan website, where he seeks to mobilize millions of Christians around the world to “Promote reconciliation, Equip servant leaders, Assist the poor, Care for the sick and Educate the next generation.”

And listen today to the dialogue – all follow up comments welcome - 6pm (pst)

Tony Blair and Rick Warren at Saddleback Church California not to be missed

Watch This!

On Sunday evening 6th March there is the opportunity to watch Tony Blair at Saddleback Church, in a live conversation with Rick Warren, founding pastor of this Orange County, California, mega church and author of the best-selling book, The Purpose Driven Life.

At this Civil Forum on Peace in A Globalized Economy, they will be addressing some of the big questions of the moment. The agenda includes faith, globalization, peace, reconciliation and education from the Middle East to the United States.

Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister, founded The Tony Blair Faith Foundation,an organization "to promote respect and understanding about the world's major religions and show how faith is a powerful force for good in the modern world."

You can watch the event free and  LIVE at at 6:00 pm (PDT) and be part of the conversation. There is more about this at The Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

This promises to be a candid conversation regarding Blair's work in the Middle East peace process, and his role as the founder of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. It should not be missed.

A sign of hope in compassion - and the Haitian tragedy

I received an email from the Tony Blair Faith Foundation today from which I quote regarding the relief efforts in Haiti:

"At the forefront of this effort are the co-ordinated efforts of faith based organisations such as World Vision, Christian Aid, Tear Fund, CAFOD and Islamic Relief. It is heartening to see religious divides ignored as a dynamic Muslim organisation like Islamic Relief puts every effort into supporting a population that predominately practice Christianity and traditional Haitian Vodou. This is multi-faith action at its most powerful, compassion as the shared value of all."

Heartening indeed!
