The new year brings a new presidential administration and a new and closely divided Congress in the United States. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will face daunting challenges, including a continuing pandemic, an economic crisis, a racial reckoning, and a bitterly divided nation. The House of Representatives and Senate have new members but likely will face the same partisan conflicts that have undermined the pursuit of the common good. Religious values and voters were at the center of the 2020 election. How will faith and the faithful shape the agendas and actions of the Biden-Harris administration and the 117th Congress?<\/p>\n

This timely dialogue will look at the complicated and changing role of the Christian community in the public square today. New leaders are stepping up, including new presidents at Bread for the World and\u00a0Sojourners<\/em>. African American churches and religious leaders continue to provide moral leadership as the nation confronts the continuing sin of racism. The Catholic community seeks to promote human life and dignity and pursue economic justice in a new political context. All faith leaders will face continuing challenges and competing priorities as the new administration takes office.<\/p>\n
