welcome

Welcome to the Common Ground web site.

The new cg.org is almost here!  Please pardon our mess as the final features are added and we iron out a few kinks.

We hope you'll take the time to explore a bit and to discover the many features that will enhance your CG experience. And watch for changes. Some exciting new features are being added. They include a CG "Open Forum", CG's own social-networking site (think "Facebook), and PayPal facility for purchases or contributions. Downloads of selected lectures will at last be available this fall.

What's Happening?

Common Ground is a center for inquiry, study, and dialogue. Our primary concern is the human quest for understanding and the human pursuit of significance. While our endeavor began with the study of world religions and the commitment to inter-faith dialogue, our range of program offerings has been greatly expanded over the past several years.

Today, our primary focus is on the world's great cultural, philosophical, religious, and spiritual traditions and their implications for every dimension of human experience. Our course offerings include a tremendous variety of topics, including, but not limited to: history, literature, art, science, psychology, business, relationship, health, and personal growth. Our programs are shaped to meet the needs of all who are excited by ideas and serious about the quest.

Common Ground is for those who are already deeply grounded in their own traditions and for those who are still searching. It is a place for all who are fascinated by the convergence of the ancient with the modern, of East with West, and of spirituality with planetary reality. Common Ground brings together a knowledge of the past and a vision of the future for a better understanding of the present.
