On Wednesday 24th February we welcomed Dr Georgette Bennett to the LSE Faith Centre, to speak on the theme of Leadership for the Post-secular Age. You can read articles by Georgette Bennett here,  and her role in founding the Tanenbaum Foundation here. She also started the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees, an interfaith response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

This event was a wonderful occasion. Georgette Bennett highlighted the severity of our current global situation regarding religion-related violence, but – crucially – she provided many heartwarming examples of constructive responses to these problems; desirable examples of Leadership for the Post-secular Age, like that LSE Faith Centre seeks to encourage and foster.

A podcast of the event is available here:
