World Faiths Development Dialogue
"The World Faiths Development Dialogue reflects a joint initiative of James Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank, and His Grace George Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury, to explore how links between faith leaders and organizations and development institutions might be enhanced. A missing link in the development business has all too often been the role of religions, both as organizations deeply involved in poor communities, and across countries and regions, and as a moral voice helping to direct and calibrate the purpose and design of anti-poverty interventions."
