Live Radio Event at George Mason

George Mason Campus Ministry Association and the Unitarian Universalists of Northern Virginia will host Interfaith Voices Live Radio Event: Is Religion a Problem or a Solution? at The Hub Ballroom at George Mason University in Fairfax on Friday, June 3, noon - 2:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Guests will include Father Gerry Creedon, former head of Catholic Charities and a leader in VOICE; Dr Maria Dakake, a Muslim and head of GMU’s Religious Studies Department; Emma Green, a young Jewish writer for the Atlantic; and Rev. Alison Miller, candidate to be the next president of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
