In this program, Dennis Wholey continues a dialogue on the role of religion and faith in contemporary American culture with spokespeople from the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington; Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good; the Washington Buddhist Peace Fellowship; the Islamic Society of North America; the Agudas Achim Conservative Jewish Congregation of Alexandria, Virginia; and the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham, Maryland. Topics of discussion include why diversity is frightening to many today; the responsibilities of religion in America’s ongoing immigration debate; the importance of embracing the present, whatever it holds, rather than clinging to an idealized past; and the varied degrees of influence that belief in an afterlife can have on daily living.
