Before that time, working in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India and Tibet had been peaceful. Not in God’s Name searches for the causes and solutions to religious intolerance. Paula’s quest for answers took her on a journey to meet faith leaders including Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama.

Not in God’s Name, the book examines why religious clashes ravage our world, and why different creeds sometimes don’t live in harmony with each other. At any given time, there are fifty conflicts being fought in the name of faith. Religion, a source of great peace is sometimes misused to create division and strife.
