At Institute of Peace religions play role in peacemaking efforts

Just steps from the Lincoln Memorial, a new building—topped by a
translucent white roof that resembles the wings of a giant dove—is
puzzling tourists and commuters alike.

What is it? Who works
there? The answer is the United States Institute of Peace, which is
often followed by some variation of "The what?"

The new
headquarters of the 27-year-old independent institute, scheduled to open
to the public in September, is designed to raise the profile of the
agency.
