Description
Summary:This special edition of The Review of Faith & International Affairs traces how freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) has been addressed across the globe, from Asia to Europe, and from Africa to the Americas, with particular focus on the Commonwealth of Nations, a unique voluntary grouping of 53 sovereign states, most of which are former British colonies or dependencies. The articles in this collection are the product of a major initiative, the Commonwealth Initiative for Religious Freedom or Belief (CIFoRB), supported with funding generously provided by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. This research project investigates how parliamentarians and legislators have and might advance religious freedom across the Commonwealth.
