Seeking Common Ground for the Common Good

Faith & the Common Good (FCG) is a network of people from different faiths and cultures who call Canada home and believe in working towards the common good. In essence, seeking common ground for the common good. As people of different faith traditions, we affirm common values of peace, participation, human rights, ecological inter-relationship, eco-sustainability and compassion for all beings as cornerstones of a healthy society. Seeking the common good in Canada is a tradition long-lived by people who have struggled to be in community across the rugged beauty of this vast land. For millennia people have made this land their home, often facing a harsh climate and barren conditions yet finding ways to survive and co-exist peacefully.

We seek common ground for the common good by working together with all people of goodwill to:

Foster local inter-faith dialogue, education, organizing and action across Canada; and reaching out around the globe;
Create education/action resources (learner-centred, multi-media Resources), and
Relate regional inter-faith/inter-cultural concerns into public policy processes through our "Renewing the Sacred Balance" focus including both our work on the Green Rule and Greening Sacred Spaces;

Through dialogue, research, network building, education, and advocacy, we are building a process to bring the diversity of Canadian perspectives into a voice of common concern for social, economic and ecological well-being for all.
