Joined URI Network
Religions for Humanity Cooperation Circle (CC) meets regularly to discuss both information from other CCs and the URI movement as well as urgent present day problems. Recently, members discussed: religious and cultural problems of Gastarbeiters in Moscow religious schools; economic and political reasons of religious extremism; the role of religion in a person's self-identification in Russia; and ritualism in religion. This CC participated in the internet dialogue 'Finding Our Common Humanity' organized by Roger Eaton. Members dream of building a world without violence, based on tolerance and mutual understanding.
