This event is not open to the public.

Are faith and progressivism still compatible?  Churches, synagogues, and mosques have long been a pillar or progressive organizing and action, but an increasingly secular progressive movement and a dominant religious Right have driven a wedge in the movement.  Join ACS to discuss the path forward for progressive people of faith, how the progressive movement can blunt the Right's advantage in religious organizing, and whether the struggle for justice for all can be reconciled with the values of America's faith traditions. 

RSVP is required. Click here to RSVP. Students who are selected to attend the discussion will be notified one week in advance, and will be sent materials selected by Prof. Sexton to facilitate the discussion. 

The ACS Lunch/Dinner Table Discussion series aims to provide a space for progressive students to grapple with issues that divide the movement, both in its its goals and practices. These discussion will be intimate and feature a faculty moderator with an interest and experience in the discussion's topic. 

This event is not open to the public.
