From Baptists to Buddhists, United Methodists to Unitarians, Jews to Muslims and so many more, almost a million people have celebrated the weekend closest to the birth of Charles Darwin (12 February 1809) as Evolution Weekend. For 11 years, members of The Clergy Letter Project, the sponsor of Evolution Weekend, have worked collaboratively across religious differences in their shared belief that religion and science can strengthen one another. This is what Evolution Weekend has been about for the past 11 years. And this is what Evolution Weekend 2017, 10-12 February, is all about this year. Now more than ever, the message of Evolution Weekend, of the compatibility of religion and science, of respect and dignity, and of understanding is of critical importance.
