PLURALISM,
RELIGION &
PUBLIC POLICY CONFERENCE -
Can there be any consensus in a pluralist society regarding the common good? Regarding ?the dignity of the person? or ?equality of persons? or ?human rights?? How shall these notions guide our legislators, judges, scientists, doctors, and public servants? What role should religion play in determining their content or in shaping public policy?

Richard John Neuhaus, Rabbi David Novak, and Charles Taylor will be accompanied by symposia in law, politics and bioethics, each with distinguished panelists, including HRH Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan.
