As part of our Women of Faith Media Initiative, coordinated by SheSource.org and Auburn Media, this panel discussion will bring together an elite group of women experts in faith, which includes ministers and rabbis from a multitude of faiths, ministry leaders and activists, non-profit advocates, and academic authorities, to discuss the divisive ways faith has been employed in this election cycle
Pooling their expertise on issues spanning immigration, gay marriage, abortion rights, youth civic engagement, environmental justice, corporate responsibility, and poverty, the group will tackle the evolving power of religious voting blocs, the implications of the Palin pick, the presence of faith in policy decisions, the enduring distortions of Obama's religious practices, and everything in between.
