Conference Announcement "God's Back - with a Vengeance. Religion, Pluralism and the Secular State" 73nd Annual Summer Conference Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs (CIPA) Orillia, Ont. (Canada) August 58, 2004
In recent years, strong religious allegiances have presented increasing challenges to secular states committed to pluralism. The 2004 annual Couchiching Conference from August 5th to 8th will examine these challenges and the roots of the religious revival in many parts of the world. Discussions will include religious extremism and its relationship to terrorism, the rising influence of more extreme religious beliefs in the governments of some secular states, and the tension between individual rights and collective religious rights in pluralist democracies.
