The Law & The Prophets Symposium will explore the intersection of the rule of law and acts of religious faith. Our keynote speaker the Rev. Julie Peeples and other guest panelists will offer legal perspectives and perspectives of morality informed by religious tradition as well as historical surveys of communities of faith impacting the larger society and an analysis of how people of faith engage in contemporary society.
Panelists
- Attorney R. Steve Bowden
- Rabbi Maor Greene
- The Rev. Dr. Stephanie Moore Hand
- The Rev. Alan Sherouse
- Moderator: Elon Law Professor Enrique Armijo
The program encourages the exchange ideas regarding inquiries such as: What happened to the prophetic voices speaking truth to power? Are there restrictions in the rule of law that have contributed to the suppression of prophetic voices? Does our contemporary social order still need to hear prophetic perspective and voices informed by religious tradition? If so what needs to be done to restore the prophetic voice in and from communities of faith?
