The Vatican announced today (January 28, 2011) a new initiative aimed at promoting dialogue between theists and atheists to be launched with a two-day event this March in Paris, according to the Huffington Post website.
The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture will sponsor a series of seminars on the theme of "Religion, Light and Common Reason," at various locations in the city, including Paris-Sorbonne University.
The events will conclude with a party of youth in the courtyard of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, followed by prayer and mediation inside the cathedral.
The seminars for atheists are being held in an effort by Pope Benedict XVI to counteract the extensive secularism that has been pervading Europe in recent years.
