Improbable conversations
on faith + politics

Page down on this page to find RSVP links to each individual program for the full season.

Meet the God Squad, the brains behind our series “God Squad: Improbable conversations for people of faith and no faith at all (because talking politics wasn’t hard enough). We hope you’ll join us as we explore what happens when people of goodwill who might not agree cross each others’ thresholds and break a little bread together. Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, bring an open mind, an open heart (and an empty stomach) for a continuing conversation on the two topics your mother taught you to never broach in polite company: politics and religion. We can’t wait.

In America we’re not just sad and alone—we’re becoming more mean to each other. Rarely do we consider what hometowns can do to build a community where everyone belongs, where we show up for each other. We'll go there.

Our culture wars have blinded us to the deepest underpinnings of pluralism, where legitimately held beliefs are respected, even when they clash with our own. So how’s a person to live free in a culture that's struggling?

Here's a vast understatement of the situation: The culture wars have Officially Hit Our Schools. When you clear away the noise, at the core of the struggle is this: what should our schools teach our children—and who decides?
