One Congressman's Faith with Rep. Tom Perriello
Back to Press Releases »How does faith shape the life and actions of an individual lawmaker? What role does religion properly have in the public square?
Join Dean Sam Lloyd and Congressman Tom Perriello as they talk about the faith journey of one congressman from the war zones of Afghanistan and Darfur to Washington, D.C., on Sunday, January 31, 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.
Tom Perriello represents Virginia’s 5th district in the House of Representatives, serving on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Prior to entering Congress in 2008, Perriello served as a national security consultant, working in conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Darfur, Kosovo, and Liberia. His work with child soldiers, amputees, and local pro-democracy groups in Sierra Leone played a significant role in the peace and reconciliation process that ended the blood diamonds war in that country.
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 Avenue.
