About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

Community Resilience Need of the Hour in Sri Lanka

The Congress of Religions, is heartbroken at the attacks on churches and other public areas in Colombo and other parts of the country on 21sr April 2019, during the Holy Day of Easter. Such attacks on Places of Worship during a time of prayer doesn’t speak to the dialogical nature of faith and spirituality that represents our country and that has existed between communities for centuries.

The Congress of Religions calls on everyone to observe, Saturday 24th April, as a day of remembrance, prayer, meditation and reflection, in solidarity with all people and communities affected.
