Chris Stedman


Chris Stedman is an American writer and interfaith activist who serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Humanist Community at Yale University. He was formerly the Assistant Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University, where he was the coordinator for the interfaith service program, Values in Action. He writes for The Huffington Post, Religion News Service, and other media outlets, and is the author of a memoir, Faitheist. Stedmans writing advocates outreach to seek common moral ground between theists and atheists, and proposes achieving that aim by expanding interfaith dialogue to include atheists.

Stedman was born in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. He was raised in a secular household, but converted to Evangelical Christianity at the age of eleven, as because, according to his memoir, he was attracted both by his religious communitys social justice work and its provision of stability during his parents divorce.
