About the Evening’s Lecture

Join us for a meaningful gathering as we unpack the results of the 2024 election together. This event offers space to reflect on the role religion plays in shaping public opinion and the ways it has influenced this election season. We’ll discuss what these outcomes mean for our communities and explore constructive paths forward, considering the future of civic engagement, faith’s influence on social and political change, and how we can respond thoughtfully and proactively. Whether you’re looking to share insights or simply listen, this session will help us navigate the questions that lie ahead.
