The Faith Debate: The Role of Religion in Politics - Institute of Politics

A panel conversation with Anna Greenberg, Senior Vice President, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner ; Richard Parker, Lecturer in Public Policy; Senior Fellow of the Shorenstein Center; Charles Stith, Director, African Presidential Archives and Research Center; Adjunct Professor of International Relations, Boston University; Ted Strickland, Fellow, Institute of Politics; Governor of Ohio, 2007-2011; Laurie Goodstein, National Religion Correspondent, The New York Times "The Faith Debate" was a vibrant discussion encompassing several aspects of the controversy over the relationship between religion and politics. Forum speakers covered the evolution of the clash between religious denominations, the role of Mormonism and Islam in the upcoming presidential election and the (supposed) necessity of presidential candidates to be religious in some way. Forum speakers also gave useful insight into the role religion has played in shaping the history of the United States, especially in abolition and the civil rights movements. The questions were geared towards the future, rather than the past, of religion in politics. Date: March 20,2012
