Biographical / Historical
Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs (formerly the Church Peace Union, and later the Council on Religion in International Affairs) is a philanthropic organization dedicated to promoting world peace. It was founded in 1914 by Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of furthering the role of the religions in promoting world peace. In its earliest incarnations, the Carnegie Council searched for ways to influence government action -- issuing statements, sending out petitions, and joining anti-war campaigns. Even in those early years, the Council adopted an educational mission, providing a forum for public debate and issuing pamphlets designed to foster discussion on the causes of war. Today the organization is dedicated entirely to educational pursuits, including publications, and public affairs programs on international relations. The Council has also performed studies of human rights, the environment, conflict, and reconciliation.
