In a recent interview with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, we discussed his attendance at the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative held earlier this year, the work of his Faith Foundation, and the importance of understanding religion in a rapidly globalizing world.
Rahim Kanani: What brought you to the Clinton Global Initiative earlier this year and what was the Face to Faith initiative launched that week?
Tony Blair: My Faith Foundation shares a similar vision with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI); globalization is pushing different races, cultures and creeds closer together than ever before and there is an urgent need to build bridges of understanding between these communities to avoid tensions and conflicts arising and to shape a more integrated global community.
