"We are thrilled to have such an outstanding group of presenters for our 35th annual Conference and Interfaith Service for Peace. Intense effort has been invested in resolving the Iran nuclear issue peacefully, and this may be our last chance to do so in a very long time. We encourage those who support diplomacy instead of war to come, become educated and empowered to advocate strongly as the November 24 deadline approaches for a negotiated settlement," said the Rev. Robert Moore, CFPA Executive Director.
