Faith Foundation

We know religion has the power to do good. We know religion also has the power to inspire acts of terrorism and evil. We know something else. Religious affiliation in our world today is growing.

Religious faith has a major part to play in shaping the values which guide the modern world. It can and should be a force for progress. I also think that understanding our increasingly globalized world today requires an understanding of religion and people of religious faith.

Last week I had the privilege of being asked to judge Tony Blair's Faith Foundation's Faith Shorts competition, which showcased films by young film makers on the theme of faith.
