Atlanta Forum on Religion in the 2004 Elections on September 8th

SAVE THE DATE

Atlanta Forum on Religion in the 2004 Elections

Religion has already played a larger role earlier in the 2004

presidential elections than anyone, including us, might have foreseen.

Yet none of us are surprised that religion is a major subject for

discussion in an election year.

Join The Interfaith Alliance Foundation, Interfaith Alliance of Georgia

and The Greater Atlanta Interfaith Alliance on September 8th for an

exciting forum where major national thought leaders will explore the

dynamics involved in the early and impassioned interest in religion in

the presidential primary season. We will also discuss "what does all

this mean" for the 2004 general election.

Panelists have an exceptional understanding of the importance of faith

in personal life and how faith can be used during the political season.

More details to come soon.

The Interfaith Alliance and The Interfaith Alliance Foundation are

national organizations with 150,000 members drawn from 70 different

religious traditions and 47 local Alliances across the country. Our

mission focuses on the intersection of religion and politics. Working

to see that religion plays a positive and healing role in the life of

the nation, we challenge those who would manipulate religion for

partisan political gain or manipulate politics for sectarian gain.

The Interfaith Alliance and The Interfaith Alliance Foundation's

election year program, One Nation, Many Faiths. Vote 2004 helps

candidates, voters, faith leaders, Houses of worship and the media

navigate the sometimes treacherous waters at the intersection of

religion and politics. The program also activates our 150,000 members

drawn from 70 faith traditions and 47 local Alliances to lead public

debates on religious liberty and to cast informed votes on Election Day.

Religion is part of ordinary life: the workplace, the worlds of friendly

interaction, the mall, the academy, the media, the gallery. But it takes

on special importance in the political realm. -- Martin Marty --
