Faith Angle Forum: March 2013


 

The Faith Angle Forum held its semi-annual Conference on Religion, Politics & Public Life March 17-19, 2013 in South Beach, Florida. The series brings together a select group of nationally respected journalists and distinguished scholars for in-depth discussions of cutting-edge issues at the intersection of religion and public life.
