America Has Seen Authoritarianism Before. We've Also Learned Ways To Overcome It

On Monday of this week, the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School partnered with the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics to host a day-long symposium on “Public Theology in a Time of Authoritarianism.”

If you’d like to stay in the loop about in-person events like this one, please be sure to sign up for updates from our Center.

I’m glad to share this excerpt from our day-long program with you. I talked with Nancy MacLean, John Witt, and Thorsten Wagner about lessons we can learn from people who’ve resisted authoritarians in the past - especially clergy and people who were influenced by their moral convictions. If you listen to this conversation, you’ll want to learn more about each of them.
