Had I read the travel advisory from the US State Department before going to Nigeria in February of 2025, I might not have made the journey given the danger of Boko Haram still being present in that country and particularly in the region of Kaduna where there is still a presence of Boko Haram.
During my travel from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, to Kaduna State University for a major interfaith conference, I was accompanied by four Nigerian policemen driving in front of our caravan as my security detail.
Providentially, I made this trip, and upon reflection, it fulfilled a prophetic message that came to me 24 years ago when our daughter, Corita Grudzen, MD, was beginning her medical residency at Bellevue Hospital in New York. The attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9/11/2001 were emblematic of the tangible divide between Christianity and Islam in the modern world. At that time, I dedicated the remainder of my life to help heal the divide between these great spiritual traditions by completing my doctoral studies at Columbia University in NYC on the history of Christianity and Islam and the founding of Global Ministries University in 2001…

GMU finds the current Administration’s decisions immoral. They do not represent the will of US citizens. A recent poll by the Economist and YouGov shows that a majority of Americans support humanitarian aid programs that provide food and disaster relief to poor countries

The election of Donald Trump to the US presidency presents a challenge to people of faith on the key issues facing the US and the community of nations. The Climate Crisis has only grown more imminent as we have seen its effects in recent weather events. Faith for Earth, the official faith-based environmental organization of the UN, has called for a renewed commitment to the Paris Accords (2015) and a sound environmental policy for all its member nations, including the US…
