Robyn E. Lebron grew up travelling the world with her military family, so she made friends with everyone, regardless of color or religion. The belief that we are all God's children has stayed with her all her life. Her current passion is to help people to learn to love one another regardless of religious or spiritual beliefs. She has spent the last 12 years researching and writing books to help people learn about other faith practices in an effort to find common ground.
Ms. Lebron currently works as Executive Assistant to the founder of 501c3 Global Prosperity and Peace Initiative. The current focus is the implementation of the International Youth Parliament, where youths ages 16-29 will be trained and mentored to become better, more peaceful leaders of tomorrow. In her spare time, she manages Interfaith Professionals on LinkedIn, has written articles for United Religions Initiative, Harmony Interfaith Initiative, The Interfaith Observer and has written several books on comparative world religions. She has appeared on radio podcasts for The Voice of Islam and The American Diversity Report.
Her latest books have been awarded 2018 Best in Class for DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Award for Excellence in Religious Communication, given annually by Religion Communicators Council. She has also been recognized internationally by The Books For Peace Commission 2019 for those who have distinguished themselves in the activities of peace and solidarity.
“As those of us who are passionate about Interfaith know, it is important to be open to new concepts and be willing to change our personal views to embrace others who believe differently than ourselves. In order to open our views, we must educate ourselves on beliefs that are different than our own. Only in this way can we change the way we see each other and move the discourse away from distrust and misunderstanding to peaceful dialogue. It is more than just tolerance, as tolerance suggests hesitant acceptance. But as we strive to find that important balance of honoring all humankind, and treasuring our own beliefs, the bridge is accurate knowledge of the other.” ~ R Lebron
