The conference titled "East and West Encounters: The Gulen Movement" held on Dec. 4-6 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, indicated that Turkey and its people have much to offer all humanity.
Academics discussed the socio-cultural, political and spiritual services provided by people and institutions inspired by Gulen. Interestingly, most non-Turkish academics used the name "hizmet" for the services provided by movement participants.
