Join Cathedral Dean James Harlan for a conversation with the authors of two acclaimed new books wrestling with questions of race and justice. Dr. Robert P. Jones, author of the New York Times bestselling The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, is the Founder and President of PRRI (the Public Religion Research Institute). Dr. Greg Garrett is the author of The Gospel according to James Baldwin, the Carole McDaniel Hanks Professor of Literature and Culture at Baylor University in Texas, and a longtime visiting theologian at the American Cathedral in Paris. Drs. Jones and Garrett regularly engage in conversation on racism, religion, and white Christian nationalism, but the American Cathedral is delighted to co-host with the American Church in Paris their first conversation together outside of the States, generously sponsored by Baylor University and the Baugh Family Foundation.
