Author: Thomas Farr

June 13, 2011

In this episode of the Research on Religion podcast, Thomas Farr discusses the important role of religion and religious liberty in foreign relations. He brings both a scholar’s insight and his experience as a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service and past director of the State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom. In the podcast Farr examines why American diplomats have often had a blind spot for religious issues and then discusses why promoting religious liberty is in the national security interest of the United States (and other nations).
