TESTIMONIALS |
"I had the privilege of collaborating with IPSEC both in 2009 and 2010 when co-organising two expert consultations on Orthodox contributions to a theology of Just Peace. Marian Simion's commitment and passion on issues of justice and peace as they relate to Orthodox theology have certainly been a driving force in the success of these events. I hope IPSEC will continue engaging theologians and scholars on various issues pertaining to justice and peace."

"The instrumentalization of faith (particularly of Islam) for radical ideological purposes is an insult to believers of any religion. Therefore, faith-based peace research is a necessity more than ever. I am grateful for the academic work of the IPSEC; it has always been a privilege to cooperate with it, in its struggle for peace and understanding."

"Having participated in international conferences on peacemaking in Eastern Christianity co-sponsored by IPSEC, I greatly appreciate the organization's unique role in facilitating scholarship and dialogue on the role of religion in resolving conflict and planting seeds for harmony in human relations. I look forward to further collaboration with IPSEC as the premier academic center for studying Orthodox Christianity's contribution to the prevention of violence and the reconciliation of enemies."
