Science & Spirit Mission Statement: Our mission is to facilitate a rich and robust dialogue between the scientific and religious communities by forging a common vocabulary. We intend the result to be a more integrated and balanced approach to complex social issues. The following operating principles guide us:

— Science can be enabling and liberating.
— Values provide a path to human integrity.
— Religious traditions should provide bridges between science and values.
