Next time on State of Belief Radio, we’re in Chicago for a wide-ranging conversation with Interfaith America founder and president Eboo Patel. An author, podcaster, activist and organizer, he’s a tireless promoter of the potential pluralistic religion has to bridge divides and bring us together around the values we share. I worked with Eboo until just a few months ago, and I know we’ll find topics to agree as well as challenge each other on.

I’ll also be talking with Rev. Fred Davie, Senior Advisor on Racial Equity at Interfaith America and a veteran of the White House Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships in the Obama administration. Fred’s also a commissioner on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, so there’s a lot of ground for us to cover.
