Interfaith Dialog Center (IDC) is a non-profit, tax exempt (501(c) (3)) organization founded by Turkish-Americans of North Jersey in 2003. IDC endeavors to promote respect and mutual understanding among all faiths and cultures by organizing educational and cultural activities such as lectures, seminars, conferences, discussion panels, luncheons and trips to Turkey. By this mission IDC aims to contribute to improvement of diversity, pluralism and multiculturalism in the society. IDC has been inspired by the Turkish scholar Fethullah Gulen. IDC started its activities with the leadership of its volunteers by organizing short educational seminars at the conference room of the Rutherford Public Library. IDC rented its center at 545 Interstate Place, Carlstadt, New Jersey in the Spring of 2004. IDC hired its first full-time staff in the Summer of 2004. Now, IDC operates at its office in Newark at 17 Academy Street Suite 701. As IDC has aimed to reach out to all segments of the society, it has been organizing different activities to serve this end. IDC announced in August 2011 that it had a new name, Peace Islands Institute (PII), and that it would operate not only in New Jersey but also in the East Coast states like New York and Massachusetts. == Major IDC Programs == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Interfaith Dialog Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
