The importance of the U.S. president’s religious faith will be explored at Lifetree Café on
Sunday, October 2 at 7 p.m.
The program—titled “The President’s Faith: Does It Matter?”—features filmed interviews
with Michael Gerson, columnist for The Washington Post and chief speechwriter for
George W. Bush, and Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners and spiritual adviser to Barack
Obama.
“Religion in America has always had a part to play in politics,” Wallis says. “The founders
wanted to separate church and state, but they also wanted to make it easier for religion to
have a positive impact on society.”
During the program, participants will examine how their own faith influences their political
views.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13 th , Arcata.
