Conference at Temple University on Eco-Justice and Gulen Movement

Dialogue Forum co-sponsored a nationwide conference on the theoretical and pragmatic meanings of peace in humanity with world in the case of Gülen’s thought and the Gülen Movement. The conference entitled “Making Peace In and With the World: The Role of the Gülen Movement in the Task of Eco-Justice” took place at Temple University on November 4th,2010.

With a case of Gülen’s thought and the Gülen Movement, the conference aimed to explore two dimensions of peace in humanity. First, making peace between differing human communities, and second, making peace between the human community and the living and limited world that embraces us and makes our life possible. The phrase “eco-justice” states this dual reality, as global economic justice must go hand in hand with global ecological justice if “peace” is to be made. A recent survey, The 500 Most Influential Muslims, signifies Gülen as one of the top 50 influential Muslims today and the movement as a global Islamic network.

The other sponsors of this event were Temple University Department of Religion, Rumi Student Association,Holy Family University,Lutheran Theological Seminary, and Dialogue Institute.
