Revolutionary Religion: How Voluntary Action and Lived Religion Shaped the American Revolution
Religion has often been central to revolutionary movements throughout history by serving as the impetus for rebellion, mobilizing and organizing volunteers, and shaping the moral foundations of the revolutionaries themselves. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this program invites members of the Central Indiana community to ponder how lived religion and voluntary action shaped the American Revolution and how these themes reverberate throughout history, even to the current moment.
Through a collaborative event from the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, Spirit & Place, all a part of Indiana University Indianapolis, as well as WFYI, attendees will hear from some of the foremost scholars on religion’s role in the Revolutionary War as they explore key areas of religion and volunteering, framed through the Faith and Freedom in America screening reel from The American Revolution documentary by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt.
Light refreshments will be available starting at 6:00 pm and the program will begin at 6:30 pm.
