“What are you actually worshiping? What are you actually committed to? Are you committed to the poor? Are you committed to the despised and the rejected?

…What is it in the Gospel, I would ask my colleagues, that says that this is right? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. There’s some variation of that in all of the great faith traditions, and that’s the question people aren’t asking themselves deeply enough. Because if you do, you might actually have to make some decisions that make you uncomfortable.”

In a compelling new interview with The New York Times, Senator Raphael Warnock reflects on faith, democracy, and the moral questions at the heart of American life. The conversation also offers an early glimpse into the themes explored in his new book, “The Crooked Places Made Straight: Reflections on the Moral Meaning of America.”

Join us Saturday, June 20, at Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University as Senator Warnock celebrates the launch of “The Crooked Places Made Straight” in conversation with historian Carol Anderson.

Each ticket includes a signed first edition of the book. Tickets are available now via the link:

Last week, we sent out a special edition of our High Note newsletter looking ahead to a summer of conversations inspired by America’s 250th anniversary and the questions that come with it: how we got here, where we’re headed, and what democracy asks of us today.

After hosting Eddie S. Glaude Jr. last Wednesday, we’re excited to continue the series tomorrow night at Wild Heaven with Barbara McQuade discussing her new book, “The Fix.” From there, we’ll welcome Daniel Squadron and Jason Esteves at teh shop on Saturday, followed by Jesse Wegman discussing “The Lost Founder,” and next month we’re honored to host Democrat Senator Chris Murphy at Wild Heaven.
