The Foundation was established with the aim of continuing the inter-religious reconciliation project in the Middle East which they commenced at Alexandria. Today, Canon White serves as the Foundation's President and CEO, and Lord Carey is Chair of its Advisory Council.
The Foundation joined the efforts of the Mosaica Center and the Adam Center for Peace and Dialogue to bring about inter-religious reconciliation in the Middle East. As the Christian partner among them, it serves as a bridge between the Mosaica Center and the Jewish world on the one hand, and the Christian world in the Middle East on the other, with the purpose of achieving the following aims:
1. To widen the inter-religious coalition of religious leaders in the region and the circles of inter-religious diplomacy established at the Alexandria Summit, amongst others, by creating a cadre of religious leaders who will serve as prominent agents for dialogue and change between and within the different religious communities.
2. To deepen the inter-religious dialogue between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East through educational programs and dialogue sessions, and by training facilitators to implement such programs.
3. To establish a cadre of learned religious leaders who would disseminate moderate interpretations of religious sources used by extremist factors. This would provide legitimacy and religious validity to the recognition of the Jewish people and the State of Israel instead of standing in the way of dialogue. These leaders would take vigorous steps, among widespread populations, to publicize their interpretations in the written and electronic media, in academic publications, mosque sermons, educational institutions, community centers and elsewhere.
4. To produce and disseminate comprehensive and reliable knowledge to the general public, academicians, educators and policy makers.
