Kroc Institute faculty and students played a leading role in the CBS News special program “Voices of Peace: People of Faith Speak Out about Religious Violence.” It was aired in selected cities nationally in late December and early January.

“Voices of Peace” featured interviews with people dedicated to inter-religious cooperation and involvement in problem-solving and reconciliation.

Producer Ted Holmes and researcher Lisa Hamilton of the CBS News Religion Unit visited the University of Notre Dame in early November. They interviewed Scott Appleby, Kroc Institute director; Cynthia Mahmood, director of graduate studies; and Rashied Omar, coordinator of the Program in Religion, Conflict and Peacebuilding. They spoke with Kroc students Isaac Lappia of Sierra Leone, Elizabeth Serafin of Mexico, and Jonathan Smith of the United States, as well as Kroc alumnus Chaim Neria (’03) of Israel.
