Pew Forum Resources<\/h2>\n\n

Q&A\nTen Years of Promoting Religious Freedom Through U.S. Foreign Policy<\/a>\nOct. 16, 2008\nOct. 27, 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the International Religious Freedom Act, which made the promotion of religious freedom a basic aim of U.S. foreign policy. Pew Forum Visiting Senior Fellow Allen Hertzke assesses the law’s impact.<\/p>\n\n

Q&A\nThe Plight of Iraq’s Religious Minorities<\/a>\nMay 15, 2008\nSenior Research Fellow Brian Grim explains that sectarian violence, ambiguous legal protections for religious freedom, and other factors have contributed to a deteriorating situation for Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n

Event\nAnother Trans-Atlantic Divide? Church-State Relations in Europe and the United States<\/a>\nMay 22, 2007\nThe Pew Forum invited a panel of experts from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss the key differences between the U.S. and various European church-state models, including the distinctive virtues and vices of each system.<\/p>\n\n

Event\nInternational Religious Freedom: Religion and International Diplomacy<\/a>\nMay 8, 2007\nForeign policy actors continue to debate how religious freedom – and religion itself – should be factored into U.S. foreign policy. The Pew Forum invited three distinguished speakers to address the fundamental questions surrounding the debate.<\/p>\n\n

Event\nReligion in a Globalizing World<\/a>\nDec. 4, 2006\nPeter Berger, professor emeritus of religion, sociology and theology at Boston University, examined the globalization of religious pluralism and how the peaceful coexistence of different racial, ethnic and religious groups has become a global phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n

Event\nLegislating International Religious Freedom<\/a>\nNov. 20, 2006\nThe Pew Forum, the American Academy of Religion and the Library of Congress’ Kluge Center invited four experts to explore why the U.S. has made international religious freedom a priority and in what ways the policy has succeeded or failed.<\/p>\n\n

Event\nGod’s Country? Evangelicals and U.S. Foreign Policy<\/a>\nSept. 26, 2006\nIn an article in\u00a0Foreign Affairs<\/em>, Walter Russell Mead argued that as U.S. evangelicals exert increasing political influence, they are becoming a powerful force in foreign affairs. In recent years, evangelicals have voted overwhelmingly Republican, helping to put conservatives at the helm of U.S. foreign policy, while focusing their energies on a handful of specific issues, including support for Israel, the promotion of religious freedom abroad and the alleviation of hunger in Africa.<\/p>\n\n
