About The Event
On September 19th and 20th, Georgetown University’s Center on Faith and Justice is hosting Test of Faith: A Summit to Defend Democracy at 125 E St., the new McCourt School of Public Policy building on Georgetown’s Capitol Campus. Registration is open!
Democracy stands embattled, facing new threats within our nation and new challenges around the globe. Christians are seeing their faith in Jesus Christ distorted and leveraged in defense of authoritarian leaders who seek to erode freedoms essential to a thriving democracy.
The Summit, timed with the release of a new statement on Christian faith and democracy, will bring together local and national faith and non-profit leaders, civil rights advocates, scholars, and others working at the intersection of faith and democracy seeking to inform, inspire, equip, and connect people committed to democratic engagement for the common good.
The Summit is made possible by generous support from the George Family Foundation and Protect Democracy.
