- A Common Word
ACMCU, joined by the Georgetown University Office of the President, hosted this conference on the fifth anniversary of the historic Common Word initiative. The program was a follow-up to A Common Word: A Global Agenda for Change, held in October 2009 and Responding to the Challenges of Religious Pluralism & Conflict Resolution, held in April 2011. The conference explored the challenge of religious pluralism and intercommunal conflicts in Christian-Muslim relations today in post Arab Spring governments in Egypt and Tunisia, and their impact on religious freedom, civil liberties and security, equality of citizenship, and gender relations
