Approaches for Teaching Religion and America at 250

with David Krueger and Kate Soules  and Andrew Mark Henry

Description: This conversation will feature several venues and methods for teaching religion in light of the United States’ 250th anniversary. Kate Soules will discuss the challenges and opportunities of teaching about religion in K-12 schools, particularly public schools. David Krueger will discuss a public history initiative in Philadelphia called Religious Freedom Trails that includes training tour guides and public history educators in religious literacy, as well as a digital app that educates residents and visitors about the city’s early religious diversity and its impact on national conversations about religious freedom. Andrew Mark Henry will share insights on public engagement through his popular YouTube education channel, Religion for Breakfast.

This is the third of our “Religion and America at 250” webinAAR series that will engage central questions around the meaning of religion, the meaning of America, and the intersections of those terms and with special consideration of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
