Tune in for a discussion of “Faith in Public Life” on Thursday, 12/8, at 12:00 p.m. EST. hosted and moderated by Ben Jealous, with featured guests Rev. Charles (Chaz) Lattimore Howard and Rabbi David Saperstein. This virtual event in the 2022–2023 SP2 Speaker Series considers the following questions: How do your religious beliefs show up in your professional life? In what ways do you think the intersection of faith and politics has evolved? Do you think it’s more polarizing now than it’s ever been? What is your perspective on the pandemic’s impact on organized religion? Register via link in bio.
