[1] CRDC coordinated a meeting between King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and over 60 American rabbis on September 21, 2005 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC.
[2] To promote interfaith dialogue, CRDC co-sponsored a televised debate in Syria on religion, tolerance and the state of political relations in the Middle East on May 25, 2005.
Conceived by local Syrian activists, the event was sponsored to recognize the divisions facing the Middle East in which religion and politics intersect, such as the Israeli–Palestinian conflict or the war on terrorism.
The CRDC produces video and audio podcasts called "Peace Steps"[3] in which Gopin and Aziz Abu Sarah provide information on positive developments in the Middle East, as well as their analysis of current events.
Dr. Gopin, scholar and practitioner in religious peace-building, author of several seminal works in the field of religion and conflict resolution, was appointed chair and director.
