• Register at FOCUS24 | Faith, Democracy & Our Common Future
• Watch together at CEIE’s office in Harding 141: RSVP to CEIE Assistant Driection Rev. Dr. Kara Markell: markellk@seattleu.edu.

Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious Engagement (CEIE) Director and Spehar-Halligan Professor Rev. Dr. Michael Trice will moderate this discussion with leading experts on the intersection of religion and public life.

Religious communities and interfaith councils play specific and positive roles in civic life that can assist leaders in addressing major social issues, respond to moral challenges and ritualize significant milestones that impact a diverse country. As we approach the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election, considering the current divisions among voters and fragmented societal connections, how can religious communities and interfaith councils contribute generatively to our society? What are the past examples and current challenge points that enable us to forecast options for engagement in the future? Join experienced leaders in responding to these questions on March 12.
