Peace prize to Jordan prince

National Catholic Reporter,  March 7, 2008  

The Tokyo-based Niwano Peace Foundation has awarded its 2008 prize for religious contributions to peace to Jordanian Prince El Hassan bin Talal, a chief adviser to the late King Hussein of Jordan.

Hassan, 60, has long been active in interreligious dialogue and epitomizes the moderate voice of Islam, the Niwano foundation said in a news release. "He has been a bridge-builder across existing political and religious divides," it said.
