The IRF Summit is pleased to announce its first regional conference in Africa, to be hosted in Nairobi, Kenya. As the global epicenter of religiously-motivated acts of terror and home to the fastest-growing population in the world, Africa is a critical area of focus for the international religious freedom community.
Led by panels of regional experts, participants at this gathering will consider the impact of government actions on religious freedom in Africa and the critical role played by faith communities in restoring peace to a region plagued by sectarian violence. Join the IRF Summit and principle organizing partners, Pepperdine University and Religious Freedom Institute.
