Profiles

Canon Sarah Snyder has over thirty years of experience working with communities and senior religious figures around the world to promote faith-based ways of finding peace and rebuilding relationships.

A Cambridge University theologian specialising in Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations, and a trained mediator, Canon Sarah was the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Special Adviser for Reconciliation programmes and resources until 2021. She previously worked with the United Nations as Director of Partnerships at Religions for Peace, and directed conflict schools for the Cambridge Interfaith Programme at the University of Cambridge.

Her early career as a documentary producer for BBC Television included time spent living and working with the Tuareg nomads in the Sahara Desert, which sparked her fascination with interfaith work and the power of hospitality. She founded the Rose Castle Foundation to build a global network that equips reconcilers to cross divides and transform conflict.
