The Foundation of Interreligious Diplomacy announced the newly formed Mormon chapter, which is the first organized chapter within the foundation.
The foundation provides a place for people of many religions or belief systems to have in-depth discussions with others in an effort to help build trust within religious categories that have a difference of opinion.
The Mormon chapter was created because leaders of the foundation felt The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is unique enough to have its own category, rather than grouping it in a generic Christian category.
"With BYU professor Daniel Peterson on the board of the foundation, BYU has played a role from the beginning," said Brian Birch, president of the Mormon chapter.
