Why Not Communism? A Wisdom Conversation on Freedom, Faith, and the Future of America
Advertisement
A recent generation of Americans has grown more open to communism and socialism than at any point in America’s history. The question deserves a serious answer—not just slogans.
Join us for the next Wisdom Conversations: Why Not Communism? A Wisdom Conversation on Freedom, Faith, and the Future of America.
This is not a lecture. It is a rigorous, civil conversation unafraid of hard questions. Moderated by Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño, president of Cornerstone University, we’ll bring together some of the best minds to examine the moral, economic, and spiritual claims of collectivist ideologies, the historical record, and what a free, faithful, and flourishing America should offer in their place.
Featured Panelists:
• Xi Van Fleet – Author and survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution
• Yeonmi Park – North Korean defector, author & human rights advocate
• Seth Dillon – CEO of The Babylon Bee and free speech advocate
• Dr. Gary Saul Morson – Northwestern University professor and leading scholar of Soviet communism
When: Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:00 p.m.)
Where: Christ Chapel, Cornerstone University
1001 East Beltline Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525
Registration is free and seating is limited.
