Common Ground 2015

Understanding and Cooperation between Religious Believers and Secular Humanists for Social Progress

COMMON GROUND 2015 is a free all-day conference, open to the general public, that aims to bring together religious believers, secular humanists, and nonbelievers in conversation to gain perspective on each other’s ways of seeing the world while embracing commonalities in our human experience that unite us for social change. Through three panel sessions and a workshop, attendees will hear academics and leaders from national and local organizations discuss views on finding meaning in life, ethics and values, and how to collaborate for social action. It is organized by the Xaverian Missionaries USA and the American Humanist Association, along with Rutgers University.
