JOURNAL OF <strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
“<strong>Speaking</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Religion</strong>”<br />
A <strong>Symposium</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Celebrate</strong> <strong>25</strong> <strong>Years</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Conversation on the Shape <strong>and</strong> Quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Common Life<br />
The founding <strong>of</strong> the Journal <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Religion</strong> twenty-fi ve years ago opened an<br />
on-going, vibrant <strong>and</strong> wide-ranging conversation <strong>to</strong> explore the interaction <strong>and</strong><br />
intersection <strong>of</strong> law <strong>and</strong> religion in shaping <strong>and</strong> contributing <strong>to</strong> the quality <strong>of</strong> our<br />
common life. This conversation has been interdisciplinary from the outset, but over<br />
the years it has increasingly drawn participants from the many religious traditions <strong>and</strong><br />
cultures found around the world. Today the Journal is an internationally respected<br />
forum within which scholars, “speaking <strong>of</strong> law <strong>and</strong> religion,” have been brought<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> engage each other <strong>and</strong> the disciplines <strong>of</strong> law <strong>and</strong> religion. This dialogue<br />
has considered with utmost seriousness their joint responsibility, <strong>and</strong> that <strong>of</strong> these<br />
two disciplines, for the creation <strong>of</strong> a civilization <strong>of</strong> genuine peace <strong>and</strong><br />
justice in which all might fl ourish.<br />
