Georgetown Center on Faith + Justice: Race, Religion and Voting Rights

Georgetown University’s new Center on Faith and Justice launched its public mission by hosting a bracing and important forum on voting rights with two of their strongest champions in Congress, Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock and Representative Terri Sewell, in conversation with the Center’s founding director, Jim Wallis.
Wallis, a Christian ethicist, public theologian and bestselling author, said the Center on Faith and Justice chose to focus its first Faith and Justice Forum on “Race, Religion and the Assault on Voting Rights" not only because they are under attack, but also because they intersect with a host of other important issues, including poverty, racial justice, policing, peacemaking, climate change, immigration reform and gun control.
“You can see that in the fight for voting rights, everything is at stake,” Wallis told a packed house at Georgetown’s Lohrfink Auditorium on Wednesday. “Not just equal citizenship, but the very future of democracy in this country. And voting rights must be named as a faith issue, even a test of faith.”

Did you invite Tim Scott to speek? It would be nice to hear a conservative voice in this forum.
