** FAITH ANGLE MAKES EUROPEAN DEBUT
------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, EPPC’s Faith Angle Forum held its 34th conference—this time in France, making it FAF’s first-ever gathering in Europe. Over two days, sixteen journalists from the U.S. and Europe, along with eight scholars, convened for sessions on the rise of national populism, immigration in Europe, how ancient biblical wisdom can speak to today’s problems, and how religious pluralism might be renewed today.
Full audio, video, and transcripts of these sessions will be available soon at FaithAngle.org ([link removed]) . In the meantime, check out this recent episode ([link removed]) of the Faith Angle podcast on the emergence of national populism, featuring Dr. Matthew Goodwin and EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen.
