I offer a radical process that would resolve religious and political tension in the Middle East through the separation of church and state and increased dialogue among nations. On the value of the Children of Abraham project: This essay contest motivated me to research topics I had debated with people before but I had never known about in depth. Arguing with different religious leaders was an enlightening experience for me and helped me formulate my thoughts from a radical theory to a logical argument. It was definitely time well spent.
