Religious News Service: The Rise of the Religious Left (Webinar)

Across the country, clergy are taking their ministry beyond the walls of their congregations. They are responding to the Trump administration’s deportation efforts by feeding immigrants afraid to leave their homes, ministering to affected families, and protesting those policies in the streets.

As a newsroom that reports on religion across the political and theological spectrum, Religion News Service has been chronicling what may be one of the most visible expressions of the American religious left in a generation.

In this webinar, RNS Events Host Niala Boodhoo will be joined by RNS reporters Jack Jenkins and Yonat Shimron, along with NPR Religion Correspondent Jason DeRose. Together, they’ll explore the movement’s parallels to the Civil Rights era, who is leading it, and what it may mean for American religious and political life.

This is a free event, but registration is required.
