Why does CRES focus its work in Kansas City?
A8. While we have global contacts, our work is local. We think it’s great for the Pope and the Dalai Lama to have a meeting, but we feel that the real work, to cite one more slogan, of “promoting understanding among peoples of all faiths,” must occur among ordinary persons in the every-day, “grass-roots” setting. We hope that our experiment will be successful enough to encourage similar organizations in other communities.
