As the Trump administration is moving quickly on major policy changes regarding immigration and funding for faith-based groups, we’re seeing religious organizations responding with public advocacy and legal action.
These court challenges based on religious freedom claims, protests at the U.S. Capitol and open letters signed by hundreds of clergy are returning religious leaders to a visible role in debates about human rights and national responsibilities.
Join Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Sean Rowe, President of the Latino Christian National Network, The Rev. Carlos Malavé, and Director of the Law, Rights, and Religion Project at Columbia Law School, Elizabeth Reiner Platt in conversation with RNS reporter Aleja Hertzler-McCain who’s been covering these issues. Hosted by RNS Events Host/Executive Producer Niala Boodhoo, this free virtual event will be from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET on May 20.
We’ll discuss what’s behind their strategies to maintain their missions and how they are defining success.
