The Tony Blair Faith Foundation “I knew that my own faith tradition called me to action. But now I know people in Malawi who have malaria, and I know that they’re just like me. They’re ambitious, but they have this disease preventing them from doing what they want to do.” Jem is making a passionate case for working against malaria to students in California as part of the Faiths Act Fellowship.

The Tony Blair Faith Foundation Wednesday evening was a culmination of an intense period of activity for faith communities in relation to climate change. The panelists at the Faith and Climate change seminar stressed the urgency of action from faith communities leading up to Copanhagen. Joel Edwards led the audience in some rigorous questioning of ho...w faith leaders go about mobilising their communities. Is this about fear or love? For Satish Kumarthe answer was definitely love he told the audience ‘I love the earth, I love the trees, I love the rivers, I love communities, I love you..’. Andy Atkins, executive director of Friends of the Earth, shared this belief that we must present tackling climate change in a positive attractive way and quoted Ed Miliband on the dangers of merely pedalling fear, ‘if Martin Luther King had said ‘I have a nightmare’ would anyone have followed him?’ Give us your views on how to engage faith communities in adressing climate change

As Rev Dr Joel Edwards, International Director for Micah Challenge, said in his opening remarks the timing of this debate could not have been more fitting as faith communities increasingly find their voice on the issue of climate change. ...

Vicky Suri

Vicky Suri I sent a proposal to "Tony Blair Faith Foundation", London regarding a "TeleCare Systems for Animals in Trauma". Mrs. Maneka Gandhi had supported me on that and I attached her "letter of support" also. There is no reply. What should I do ?

Thanks for getting in touch Vicky and we apologise if no-one's got back to you. As Vikram says our focus is on promoting understanding of and between people of faiths and bringing them together to work towards the millenium development goals and you would be best to look for charities more focused on the issue of animals in trauma. You can email us at info@tonyblairfaithfoundation.org with any questions or concerns.

Ray Noble

Ray Noble I am please to sing up in support of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. We need greater understanding across faiths and for those with none for us to break barriers to solving problems of disease and poverty in the world. Too often religious intolerance is used as a weapon of oppression. Where faith can bring people toge...ther, religious intolerance and fear divides. Although I am not a Muslim, part of my own work examines Islamic ethics and assisted reproduction and faith and fertility and researches barriers to health care for women.
