Grand Dialogue is supported by a grant to Grand Valley State
University from the Metanexus Institute with funds from the Templeton Foundation.
Grand Dialogue is an association of colleges, universities, and related organizations
exploring the relationship between science and religion.
This inter-institutional, inter-disciplinary, and inter-faith exploration seeks
to find positive ways of relating these two great ideas in a constructive dialogue.
Participating organizations each have their own unique perspectives, foci, message,
and intended audience. By cooperating, we affirm the willingness to be open
to various issues and perspectives in a spirit of mutual respect.
