Faith in such endeavors means believing in what people can do for one another: facing problems compassionately and intelligently; pursuing truth without prejudice; creating solutions that work for everyone. These are the tasks we must undertake to believe in one another again.
In 2018 Rev. Dr. George Mason created the vision for a Dallas-based, inclusive-faith organization committed to promoting the common good. Faith Commons is a “commons” that materializes when people of all faiths and none bring their spiritual identities and convictions to learn about, discuss and respond to issues affecting society and culture together.
We convene faith leaders and people of good faith for conversations with one another around issues critical to our life together. We learn from both academics and practitioners. We produce a variety of media including podcasts, videos and think-pieces to reach wider audiences.
Recognizing that diversity will provoke disagreements over definitions of religious liberty, justice, and the common good, Faith Commons models how to work together amid differences, learning from one another, overcoming fear and misunderstanding of one another, seeking together to love God and our neighbor as ourselves.
