Join the Conversation on How Faith Leaders Can Unite a Divided Nation!
Promising Revelations: A Conversation on Misperceptions and the Role of Faith Leaders in Bridging Divides
Date: Monday, September 30, 2024
Time: 1:00 - 2:30 PM (Online)
How do misperceptions about religious communities fuel division in America? How can faith leaders play a critical role in bridging those divides?
Join More in Common and One America Movement for a thought-provoking webinar on Monday, September 30th that delves into these questions and more. We’ll explore widespread misperceptions about Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities and highlight the powerful role faith leaders play in bringing Americans back together.
The webinar will spotlight findings from More in Common’s latest report, “Promising Revelations: Undoing the False Impressions of America’s Faithful.” Drawing on research from over 6,000 Americans, the report challenges key narratives, including:
The idea that religious communities are primarily concerned with politics.
The perception that the relevance of religion is fading.
The belief that younger generations are distancing themselves from faith.
The assumption that religious Americans are mostly intolerant of others.
Following the report presentation, Pastor Tom Breeden, Shaykh Ibad Wali, and Rabbi Frederick Reeves will reflect on how these misperceptions are affecting their communities and share insights on how their faith traditions provide the tools to promote social cohesion and bridge divides.
