Religiously
Incorrect? Public Faith in a Pluralistic
World.” September 15 - 16, 2005 . The 2005 Sarah Smith
Memorial Conference on Moral Leadership, entitled “Religiously Incorrect?
Public Faith in a Pluralistic World,” takes up a question of great national and
international importance.
·
In an era when
religious faith features prominently in public life, can we imagine a public
role for religion that falls victim neither to the violent assertion of faith
nor the liberal restraint of religious reasons in public debate?
·
How can we envision
modes of professional leadership in which the practice of faith is integral to
vocation and broader participation in public life? Can such a vibrant practice of faith take
seriously both the reality of pluralism and its consequent fact of multiple
incommensurable world-views, while nonetheless envisioning a distinctive role
for faith in fostering life’s flourishing?
The conference, interdisciplinary by design, seeks
answers to these pressing questions for those working in the fields of law,
business, ministry, medicine, in the academy, and in other spheres of life.
Speakers and presenters include: Nancy
T. Ammerman, Professor of Sociology
of Religion, Boston University; Floyd
Flake, Senior Pastor, Greater
Allen A.M.E. Cathedral, Jamaica, New York; Mike
Volkema, Chairman, Herman Miller,
Inc.; Stephen L. Carter, Professor of Law, Yale University; Wendell
L. Griffen, Judge, Arksansas
Court of Appeals; Robert H. Henry, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Tenth Circuit; William H. Pryor, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit; Joan Gottschall, Judge, U.S. District
Court, Northern District of Illinois; Miroslav
Volf, Director, Yale Center for
Faith & Culture. Please register

one-day workshop for seminarians/September 24,

God in prayer in the context of their seminary education. Led by Brs. KEVIN HACKETT and
