Reverend Mark Farr is an Episcopalian priest, psychotherapist and leader in the nonprofit community in the United States.
He was president of the Washington DC-based Faith and Politics Institute, which promotes the legacy of civil rights leader and congressman John Lewis, between 2008 and 2012.[1] In that year he became president of the Sustained Dialogue Institute, which was created by former Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs Harold "Hal" Saunders.[2] [3] Sustained Dialogue is a system to promote conflict transformation both in diplomatic and community situations. During his presidency, the Sustained Dialogue Institute was one of the three co-hosts of the Dartmouth Conference, a long-time high-level bilateral dialogue between the United States and the Soviet Union, (later the Russian Federation).[4] The Dartmouth Conference met regularly both in Moscow and Washington to seek to alleviate tensions between the two countries. President Farr left the Sustained Dialogue Institute in 2022.
Farr is a co-founder, vice president and board member of the John Lewis Institute of Peace, a nonprofit founded to further the work of Congressman Lewis.[5]
Farr is also Vice President of the Eurasia Center, a think tank that aims to build positive relations among the nations and peoples of America and Eurasia.[6] He is currently associated with the work of the Global Peace Foundation, an international nonprofit based in Lanham, Maryland.[7]
