What Sustains Us?
How do religious values implicitly, as well as explicitly, influence our values? What sorts of religious institutions stand at the heart of our civic life, and do they affect our values by their presence? To what degree are our most cherished Western values actually the same or the result of our most cherished religious values, and what will happen to those seemingly secular values when they are cut off from religious tradition after two, three, four, or more generations? Prominent religious leaders and thinkers discuss what sustains our values when we seemingly pay attention to traditional religion less and less.
Speakers: Diana Eck, Steven Leder, Elaine Pagels, Jane Shaw, Anna Deavere Smith
