Institutions built for peace, freedom and understanding
Five organizations, one conviction: that good character, free societies and honest knowledge are the foundation of lasting peace.
The mission
Peace begins in the person, and is built in the public square.
Dr. Kaufmann’s work moves between the quiet rooms where religious leaders learn to trust one another and the public forums where free societies defend what makes them free.
- Interfaith dialogue and Track-II diplomacy across four decades
