I have worked with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs
in the past and have friends there - Jean-Nicholas Bitter and Simon Mason.  I have a huge regard for them and admire them greatly.  Last year I was given the privilege of speaking at an event they hosted of several hundred global leaders along with others.  Simon interviewed me for an article - you can read it below - but there are other great articles as well.  I admire the Swiss and love their work. 

Next year, Jean-Nicholas has promised to take me climbing to the top of Mont Blanc and 3 other swiss alps.  In addition, we are opening a cheese and chocolate factory.  This has led us to discover another venture - a vocational school on cow milking - it will be utterly marvelous!  Right Jean Nichols?????

Enjoy the articles - and Merry Christmas everyone - I wish I was in the Swiss Alps celebrating!

What part do religions play in conflicts and in the non-violent transformation of conflicts? How can a constructive dialogue between different worldviews take place?
