How is the Obama Administration Reaching out to Faith Groups?
Back to Press Releases »How is the Obama administration reaching out to faith groups? What difference do religious communities make in shaping public policy?
Join Dean Sam Lloyd and White House religious outreach coordinator Josh DuBois as they discuss the role of religious communities in shaping public discourse and providing service to those in need on Sunday, January 10 at Washington National Cathedral.
The Sunday Forum is a 50-minute conversation that examines the intersection of faith and public life, and includes questions from live and online audiences. It is held between morning services in the main part of the Cathedral, beginning at 10:10, on most Sundays.
Josh DuBois is special assistant to President Obama and executive director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. In this capacity, DuBois helps direct the Obama Administration’s engagement of faith-based and other non-profit organizations. One of President Obama’s longest serving aides, he previously served as director of religious affairs for the Obama for America campaign, as well as the Presidential Inauguration Committee. Prior to his involvement with the Obama campaign, DuBois was a legislative aide to then-Senator Obama.
The Sunday Forum is free, open to the public and webcast live at www.nationalcathedral.org. Complimentary parking is offered in the underground parking garage, accessed from Wisconsin Ave.
