Global Affairs Council - Tony Blair Program

[Eric N. Gebbie]

I know I've promoted this organization to this group before, but it's been a while and they have this unique event coming up.  $60 to see Tony Blair plus a year's membership to the organization is a great deal.  Students get in to a lot of events free (about every 2 or 3 weeks) on all kinds of global issues.  Plus you'll rarely be able to see Tony Blair live for less than $1,000, frankly.  So I'm going!

CHICAGO AND THE WORLD FORUM

Faith and Globalization

The Right Honorable Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland


Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, will discuss “Faith and Globalization” as an addition to the spring 2009 Chicago and the World Forum series “ Fault Lines of Faith? Religion and Politics in World Affairs.”

This program is open to Chicago Council members only, but nonmembers can join now and attend for free.

Mr. Blair served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007. Since then he has launched the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, which works with Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, to promote respect and understanding between the major world religions and make the case for faith as a force for good in the modern world. Mr. Blair believes that faith will have great influence on how the challenges of globalization will be met.
