|
The Sunday Forum:
Critical Issues in the Light of Faith is a weekly
program of honest, intellectually probing, and
generous-spirited dialogue about major issues of our time as
seen from the Christian perspective. Each Sunday, Cathedral Dean Samuel T. Lloyd III and his guests wrestle with pressing topics such as environmental stewardship, the role of faith in politics, religious pluralism, personal ethics, global justice, and faith in a changing culture. Guests are drawn from all walks of public life, from renowned scientists to writers, artists, and musicians; political figures and journalists; scholars from a multitude of fields; activists; and religious leaders. Each conversation includes questions taken from our local and/or national audiences and is directed toward people of faith and those simply curious about it. The Sunday Forum welcomes a variety of opinions and points of view and endeavors to provide lively, purposeful discussion informed by the ancient traditions of Christian faith. We invite you to join us each Sunday in the historic nave of the Cathedral or online for conversations that could change your life, or someone else’s. |
