Civic Circle: Religious Pluralism (Virtual)
2023-03-15 14:30 - 15:45 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis)
Spirit & Place’s Civic Circle gatherings invite you to reflect on our democracy and grapple with what it means to live by America’s civic values. This spring we will focus on the value of religious pluralism.
Whether you are a person of faith or not, well, the Constitution protects it all! So what does “religious pluralism” mean in terms of a shared civic or societal value? How is it different than religious liberty and how do we live into the work of nurturing a religiously pluralistic society?
Using the civic reflection dialogue method, this participatory gathering – you’ll be doing most of the talking! – aims to help you unpack your civic values with others who also care about their role as citizens, that is, as those who show up for each other in public life.
