Tony Blair Faith Foundation

According to the Blair Faith Foundation, "though many Enlightenment thinkers assumed that religion and faith were on the wane, to be inevitably replaced by rational, scientific insight, this theory looks increasingly implausible today.

When you buy an airline ticket at very short notice and your trip is for just over 24 hours you can expect a certain number of questions at any airport. When you’re carrying a couple of laptops and a lot of extra wires, passports with unfeasible numbers of stamps, a bagful of documents but very few clothes, and you’re flying in to Tel Aviv, I guess it’s understandable if you face a more thorough grilling.

Founder of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair met this morning with Her Excellency Lamis al-Alami, Minister of Education for the Palestinian Authority, to celebrate the signing of a two-year MOU to train more than 200 teachers distributed in 100 schools, as part of "Face to Faith" the Foundation's global schools programme.

In late March, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation Faiths Act team asked people around the world to organise multi-faith action to raise awareness and funds on malaria. Over the last 3 months we have watched over 250 organisers from a multitude of faith traditions across 40 countries reach out to over 19,000 people to halt deaths from malaria and show faith as a force for good. The symbol for these acts of faith was a small blue ribbon. Although small it can made a big impact.
