For a couple of days this week I was in Manhattan at the Center for Foreign Relations where Richard Haas is President.  It was fun.  It was on religion and foreign policy.  I got to be with some friends and meet new friends.  Hopefully I’ll be able to fill you in on some of them in a few days and things I learned from them. 

Richard has been writing on the “Age of Nonpolarity.”  The article is in the May/June issue of the probably the best for affairs magazine around called “Foreign Affairs!”  Here’s the link.  The premise of which ”the world is not dominated by one or two or even several states but rather by dozens of actors possessing and exercising various kinds of power.  This represents a tectonic shift from the past.”

It fascinated me because it is how I see the world operating and how we do global engagement in the domains of society.  I’m in the editing process on my fourth book – and I literally draw diagrams to illustrate what Richard is talking about. 

So what will faith look like in this ever connected global world?  Go to the link, read the article and let’s translate it in to a “faith response.”  What about Richard’s conclusions?  Agree or disagree?
