A room filled with diplomats, policy makers, professors, clergy and students–from both diplomatic and theological studies–heard Dr. Lisa Schirch challenge them to integrate religious narrative and values with conflict analysis and peacebuilding in various national and cultural contexts.   The 13th annual Tachmindji event, held at the School of International Service of American University, included a brilliant address by Dr. Schirch, a wonderful powerpoint, provocative  conversation and a rich buffet.   Stay tuned for the tape of this address!
