..
Common Ground is about emphasizing what we have in common more so than emphasizing what we don't -- to unite instead of divide.

When we break it down to the core, it is our belief that all people have two things in common. We are all children of a Creator, regardless of how we choose to believe in that source, and thus we are all brothers and sisters. That is our "common ground."

In an ever changing, complex, uncertain, and strife filled world, let's remember that some things in the universe are certain and join together in exploring them. Welcome to Common Ground!!!
