Association for Religion and Intellectual Life (ARIL) "The Association for Religion and Intellectual Life and its journal, Cross Currents, are organized in the belief that when the passions of the heart are brought into harmony with the life of the mind, religious faith can and shall contribute to the common good. [...] In feature articles, book and movie reviews, poetry and music, we will communicate a vision that encompasses humanity in its complexity as well as in its completeness. At the same time, we will serve as a resource, encouraging people from differing traditions to gather both online and in real time for dialogue, reflection, and action that will enrich the lives of all."

It fosters an interdisciplinary discourse in order to arrive at a better, integrated understanding of religious phenomena. In addition, the Society encourages research in the development of religion with particular reference to the Canadian scene. Finally, the Society promotes a critical examination of the goals, methods, and styles of teaching demanded by the discipline. English and French are the official languages of the Society. Members are free to participate in the proceedings in either language."
