Muslim-Christian Initiative on the Nuclear Weapons Danger

Muslim-Christian Initiative on the Nuclear Weapons Danger

"The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Churches' Center for Theology and Public Policy (CTTPP) are working cooperatively through the Muslim-Christian Initiative on the nuclear Weapons Danger to enable Muslims and Christians in the U.S. to work to end the nuclear weapons danger for several reasons...

"The Initiative and the statement "We Affirm Our Belief in the One God: A Statement Regarding Muslim-Christian Perspectives on the Nuclear Weapons Danger" had its origins at a consultation of religious leaders and scholars that was convened by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Managing the Atom Project of the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Churches’ Center for Theology and Public Policy (CCTPP). The group met at the Pocantico Conference Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in Tarrytown, New York on May 23-25, 2005 to discuss what their traditions had to contribute to the question of the nuclear weapons danger at this time in history."
