Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith Youth Core, will explore America's promise of equality & dignity for all and how that promise is the foundation of America's strength as a nation.
America is the most religiously devout country in the Western world and the most religiously diverse nation on the planet. Will America’s identity as a Judeo-Christian nation shift as citizens of different backgrounds grow in numbers and influence? In what ways will minority religious communities themselves change as they take root in American soil? In addressing these questions, Eboo Patel will explore how America’s promise is the guarantee of equal rights and dignity for all, and how that promise is the foundation of America’s unrivaled strength as a nation. A book sale and signing will follow the program. This event is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by The Marjorie M. and Irwin Nat Pincus Fund in Honor of Their Daughters, The Milton B. Asbell Center for Jewish Life, the Division of Student Life, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Inclusivity, the Center for Service, Spirituality & Social Justice,the Churchill Fund, the departments of religion and Judaic studies and the First Year Seminar Program.
