Wednesday, February 8, 12noon-1pm, Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St.; this event will also be live-streamed on YouTube

According to a study by the Pew Research Center, some 78% of Ohioans identify with a particular religion. With a panel of Columbus religious leaders, we discuss the role of religion in shaping society in Central Ohio and the challenges faced by organized religion. We’ll also examine the public misunderstandings of their faiths and what happens in a diverse democracy when religion and politics mix.

Speakers

• Hillel Skolnik, Senior Rabbi, Tifereth Israel

• Earl K. Fernandes, Ph.D., Bishop, Diocese of Columbus

• Abdurrahman Justin Wood, Youth Director, Noor Islamic Cultural Center

• Victor M. Davis, DMin, Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church

• Jerry Revish, Retired Co-Anchor, WBNS 10TV, Senior Pastor, Unity Temple Church of God in Christ

We will be temporarily holding our weekly forums at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, (which has free on-site parking), and serving box lunches. This change in venue is due to remodeling at The Boat House at Confluence Park due to water damage from a ruptured sprinkler head during the holiday cold snap.

Please register to attend “in person” or to purchase a virtual seat [it is possible to register to attend virtually without paying a fee], to submit questions for the questions-and-answer period, and to receive updates about panelists and upcoming forums.
