Atlanta, GA – February 23rd, 2008 - Istanbul Center of Atlanta invited Dr. Jill Carroll, the author of “A Dialogue of Civilizations” to speak on “Demands of religious diversity and the ways in which peaceful coexistence can be achieved amidst radical religious pluralism”.

She is the author of three books. Dr. Carroll recently wrote "A Dialogue of Civilizations" following her numerous trips to Turkey. In “A Dialogue of Civilizations”, Dr. Jill Carroll provides a forum for interfaith dialogue through the progressive Islamic ideals of Turkish intellectual and philosopher Fethullah Gulen. Gulen, who is renowned worldwide for his work promoting education, cross-cultural dialogue and the reconciliation of science and faith, has spent his working to solve social and spiritual ills.
