Contemporary Conversations in Christianity: Christianity and its future

with Diana Butler Bass and Elizabeth Schrader Polczer

Join us on Wednesday, October 12, at 4:00 p.m. in Goodson Chapel as we welcome Diana Butler Bass, Ph.D., for a conversation about the future of Christianity.

She will be in conversation with Elizabeth Schrader Polczer, doctoral candidate in Religious Studies at Duke and the 2022-23 Anne Firor Scott Public Scholarship Fellow. This is the first in Schrader's four-part series, "Contemporary Conversations in Christianity."

A light outdoor reception will follow.
