This book is part of an effort to stimulate reflection on religion and its role in education and development in Southeast Asia. Earlier versions of the papers collected in this volume were presented at the “Asian Interfaith Dialogue: Perspectives on Religion, Education and Social Cohesion.” A dialogue on values and development in multi-religious Southeast Asia, organized by RIMA with sponsorship from The World Bank Post-Conflict Fund. Held on 27 and 28 October 2001 in Singapore. This dialogue is a follow-up to the Asian Regional Consultation on Social Cohesion and Conflict Management held on 16 and 17 March 2000 at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila. The consultation was jointly organized by the Social Development Department of the ADB and The World Bank.
