Overview
CFR’s Religion and Foreign Policy (RFP) program serves as a resource for faith leaders and policymakers, and offers a forum for congregational leaders, seminary heads, scholars of religion, and representatives of faith-based organizations to discuss global issues in an interfaith environment. CFR produces a vast array of resources that provide nonpartisan and authoritative analysis to inform the work of religious thinkers and educators and foster dialogue in their communities. For more RFP resources, follow @CFR_Religion on X. To sign up to receive the monthly Religion and Foreign Policy Bulletin, please sign up here.
Religion and Foreign Policy Webinars
Led by a CFR expert or faith leader, the Religion and Foreign Policy Webinar series offers members of the religion community access to interreligious conversations on timely issues at the intersection of religion and international affairs. Video recordings and transcripts of the webinars are available after the fact at CFR.org/rfp-calls, and audio recordings can be accessed on the Apple Podcasts channel Religion and Foreign Policy.
Religion and Foreign Policy Events
Organized in New York, Washington, DC, and around the country, the Religion and Foreign Policy Roundtable series provides an intimate setting for in-depth conversations.
