Are religious differences the key to a more civil society?
In a world where diverse faith communities interact with great frequency and intensity, how can we both preserve the particularities of our distinct faith traditions while promoting positive interfaith cooperation? Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith Youth Core, will explain how and why interfaith cooperation and democracy depend on the differences among religions as much as the similarities in the 2017 Thomas H. Lake Lecture, “Building a Diverse Democracy: Exploring the Theologies and Practice of Interfaith Cooperation.” The lecture, which is presented by Lake Institute on Faith + Giving at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, will take place on Thursday, March 30 in Indianapolis.
