Faitheist: building bridges between believers and non-believers

Meeting House, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9QF. 19.00 – 20.30
In a world where religious conflict is front page news and the number of people who identify as religious is declining, is the chasm of understanding between people of different faiths and atheists and agnostics growing wider? Can people of diverse religious affiliations find shared values and build partnerships for the common good, or are our disagreements too vast?

In this event, professor, author, and activist Chris Stedman will share his story of seeking common ground with the religious as an atheist. Then, in conversation with University of Sussex Lead Chaplain James Croft, he'll discuss what theists and nontheists can gain from being in dialogue, the differences between the interfaith movements in the United States and United Kingdom, and how people of different faiths and those of nonreligious beliefs can work together to improve the world we all share.…
