Sun, Mar 13-Civic Religion: An Introduction and Overview

Sunday, March 13th, 2011 at 1:00 PM, ISA Madinah Hall

Prof. Heather Abdelnur will conduct an informal presentation on:

“Civic Religion: An Introduction and Overview”.

The presentation will introduce the concept of civic religion, talking about the historical origins of the term in Europe during the Enlightenment period, how the concept changed in the 1960s with the field of Sociology, and how it “might” be interpreted by an American Muslim community.

The hope is that this presentation will open the door for discussions about the interaction between government and the community of several faith groups.
