Henry Symposium
on Religion and Public Life
April 25-27, 2019
The Paul B. Henry Institute will hold its tenth biennial Symposium on Religion and Public Life from April 25-27, 2019, at the Prince Conference Center on the campus of Calvin College. The Symposium provides opportunities to present current research, foster personal and professional scholarly collaboration, and learn from thoughtful practitioners. Symposium attendance is open to anyone interested in the intersection of religion and public life. We invite you to join us at the Symposium and in Grand Rapids and west Michigan, both hot-spots to visit, with a vibrant art scene, brewery culture, and lakeshore attractions.
THEMES AND SPECIAL EVENTS
While the Symposium is open to all scholars and practitioners, we will have one track of panels focused on a unifying theme: “Populism or Internationalism? Religious Responses to Globalization.” We will also welcome Michele Margolis to discuss her pathbreaking book, From Politics to the Pews, as well as panels on criminal justice reform, rights-based religious movements, faith and the Democratic party, the future of religion and conservatism, and much more. As always, the Symposium will feature the annual Kuyper Lecture and Henry Lecture (speakers TBA). The Henry Symposium will be preceded by the annual Kuyper Conference, which will also be held at the Prince Conference Center.
