“Why God? Understanding Religion and Enacting Faith in a Plural World”

A panel of world leaders convened at the University of Notre Dame on Sept. 22, 2005 in a forum that provided an academic cornerstone to the inauguration of Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., as the University's 17th president.

Titled "Why God? Understanding Religion and Enacting Faith in a Plural World," the forum took place at 2 p.m. in the Joyce Center arena.

Panelists for the forum included Cardinal Oscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, S.D.B., archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Honduras; John C. Danforth, former U.S. senator from Missouri and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Naomi Chazan, professor of political science and African studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a former member of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, and a three-decade participant in the Israeli-Palestine peace process; and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder and chief executive officer of the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) and imam of New York City’s largest mosque.

Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw served as moderator for the discussion, which included participation by selected Notre Dame faculty and students.
