Our work complements a growing national interest in religious freedom, which was illustrated this spring when I was named to President Trump’s newly created Religious Liberty Commission. Other members of the commission include Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Bishop Robert Barron, and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik. My co-comissioners and I are tasked with submitting a report on “the foundations of religious liberty in America, the impact of religious liberty on American society, current threats to domestic religious liberty, strategies to preserve and enhance religious liberty protections for future generations and programs to increase awareness of and celebrate America’s peaceful religious pluralism.”
