Living Questions Discusses Religion; Rousuck Review's Evita; African American Arts Festival

INSTITUTE FOR ISLAMIC, CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH STUDIES

We begin this morning with another installment in our monthly series, Living Questions, in which we examine the role of religion in the public sphere. Retiring Executive Director Christopher Leighton, Catholic Scholar Heather Miller Rubens, Islamic Scholar Homayra Ziad, and Jewish Scholar Benjamin Sax from The Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies all join Tom in-studio to discuss leadership transition in the organization, as well as what it will take for the voices of tolerance to be heard in the din of bigotry that has taken over much of the public discourse in this unprecedented political year.

J. Wynn Rousuck reviews EVITAwhich is currently playing at Olney Theater through July 24.

Plus, a preview of the African American Festival which hits Camden Yards this weekend. Shelonda Stokes, president and CEO of greiBO entertainment, and Joe Maye, singer from The Voice on NBC, both join Tom in-studio to discuss what to expect at the event. 

Host, Midday (M-F 12:00-1:00)
