Includes Jewish, Evangelical, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu commentary
On January 20th, America begins the next chapter of our national story. In recognition of the particular challenges that face President Joseph Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, IFYC invited fifteen top civic and religious leaders of different faith traditions and political perspectives to offer their assessment of where our nation is and where we must go.
The resulting essays comprise IFYC’s newly published “State of the Interfaith Nation” on the media site “Interfaith America.” Contributors include Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL who writes on the Hate Landscape, Reshma Saujani, from Girls Who Code who draws from her Hindu tradition and her belief in the power of women, Galen Carey from the National Association of Evangelicals who writes about Evangelical understandings of freedom, Manar Waheed from the ACLU who writes on the current state of Muslim legal rights, and John Wood, Jr. from Braver Angels who reflects on the foundations of Bridge Building in this moment.
