A new initiative has been announced that will be based at the School of Divinity at Wake Forest University.
President Susan R. Wente said this program will provide the university and the public with the resources that are needed to increase civic engagement and discourse that are both essential for the future. Students and residents of nearby Youngsville may be interested in such a program.
The program builds on the Elizabeth and Robert Strickland Symposium for 2023 which brought scholars together to discuss democracy in America, both now and in the future, and on the interfaith and ecumenical commitments of the School of Divinity. The program advances the commitment of the university to producing knowledge that nurtures more inclusive communities. Brochure printing is often used to provide more details about such programs and their features.
Wente said that Corey D. B. Walker, the new dean of the School of Divinity, is a leader who can bring about civic engagement, public scholarship, and research that intersects pluralism, religion, and American public life. Wente said that Dean Walker is a committed public servant and a distinguished scholar who has worked on religious freedom in the United States and around the world.
This initiative will launch this fall as part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the School of Divinity.
