Event Details

Panelists have been chosen by each of the GTU member schools to formulate a position. Each panelist is asked to identify the core issue they wish to address and the disciplinary perspective from which one speaks, to formulate an argument, and to identify the goal to which the argument contributes. Ten-minute presentations by panelists will be followed by an open conversation between panelists and the audience. Our goal is to model a civil and constructive conversation on religious faith in this moment in American politics.
