The Department of Religion at Temple University and Philadelphia Dialogue Forum organized a conference on the role of peace and dialogue on November 4. Based on Fethullah Gulen‘s thoughts and ideas, the conference explored two dimensions of peace in our world: first, the role of peace among different human communities, and second, the role of peace between the humanity and ecosystem. The conference, which gathered considerable interest of students and academia, has demonstrated that Gulen Community is not only striving to achieve tolerance and understanding among people, but also trying to maintain global ecological justice.
