The Newseum (555 Pennsylvania Ave., NW) hosts “A dialogue with the improbable Chris Stedman” as part of its Religious Freedom Education Project on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Stedman works to build bridges across some of our biggest differences at a time when he says personal attacks characterize culture war debates. He describes himself as a “queer atheist” and serves as the Assistant Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University and is the author of “Faitheist: How an Atheist Found Common Ground with the Religious.”
