Values summit to be held March 3 at Duke

The American Values Summit on March 3 at Duke University in Durham, N.C., will feature nationally-known speaker Jim Wallis and others who seek "to promote public discourse encompassing a broad spectrum of moral values through collaboration with organizations in communities across the South."

The mission of the conference is:

Because morality is central to public policy decisions, and because one extreme end of the political spectrum has dominated American public discourse on morality for many years, we are bringing together a nonpartisan group of students, community leaders & faith leaders to explore how a broader conception of morality can reshape local, state and national public policy. We are driven by the conviction that many moral issues resonate in America , and discussions of faith and morality should address overlooked areas such as poverty, civil rights, ecology, health care, and education.
