Lecture Schedule
Resistance and Rebuilding: Faith Heroes and Religious Organizations as Models for Democracy
Wednesday, April 17, 7:30 p.m.
Lindsay-Crossman Chapel

Various faith heroes throughout history have resisted injustice but also gone beyond criticism to build movements, communities and organizations that imagine the world as it could be.

Meanwhile, model religious institutions serve diverse communities by providing hope and sustenance as they work for the common good. Both resistance and rebuilding are needed for a diverse democracy, and these inspiring models can show the way.
Vulnerability and Strength: Faith-based and Interfaith Skills for a Diverse Democracy
Thursday, April 18, 10 a.m.
Lindsay-Crossman Chapel

Faith traditions can provide guidance for when to be vulnerable and when to be strong as we encounter people and positions different from our own and work across the aisle to build a better society. Drawing on examples from faith traditions and interfaith encounters, the overlap between interfaith skills and democratic values will be illuminated.
Interactive Session: Practicing Interfaith Skills for a Diverse Democracy
Thursday, April 18, 2 p.m.
Strosacker Hall, Sandstone Three

This session will be a guided exercise that will serve as an experiential opportunity to practice the interfaith skills that have been discussed in the previous lectures as we all work together to build a strong and diverse democracy.
