Call for Papers "In Face of Conflict: Multi-Religious Cooperation for Peace" Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue Issue 4, 2010 __________________________________________________ Religion is often thought of as a cause of conflict. Zealous practitioners of one tradition fight the zealous practitioners of another in the name of God – in defiance of the emphasis each theological system places on peace. In its fourth issue, the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue (http://www.irdialogue.org) seeks to examine where and why religious conflicts take place – and how conflicts carried out in the name of religion can be mitigated or transformed. The issue will be guest edited by Dr. William F. Vendley, Secretary General of Religions for Peace. Submission Guidelines All submissions must be the original, previously unpublished work of the author(s). Authors are also advised to read about the Journal and the previous issue prior to submitting an article.

Peer-Review Process After an initial vetting process by the editorial board, each submission will undergo a rigorous peer-review by members of the Board of Scholars and Practitioners.
