The Buxton Initiative is a nonprofit organization seeking to build bridges among Abrahamic faith communities through friendship and dialogue. The following quote, from an op-ed article by Buxton Initiative founders Dr. Akbar Ahmed and Ambassador J. Douglas Holladay, describes our vision:
We offer a simple yet profound proposal: look to faith and friendship as the vital bridge to establishing deep understanding. Consciously or not, the world is desperately searching for authentic models that engender hope and where real faith breeds civility and trust.
