Our polarized times call for interreligious cooperation in cultivating the ethical leadership needed to face daunting challenges together. The lectionary texts for Christ the King Sunday on Nov 22, 2026, raise questions about good government, civic life, political allegiance, and the common good. Panelists from ELCA Lutheran, Presbyterian (USA), Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim communities come together to offer their perspectives and insights on these texts and other texts from their own traditions on ethical leadership in seasons of change.

• Matthew 25:31-46 final judgment
• Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24 critique of unjust leaders

Panelists include:

Dr. Marvin Wickware, Associate Professor of Church and Society and Ethics

Rabbi Anna Levin Rosen, Director of Middot Center for Lived Ethics

Ms. Dina Rehab, Founding Director and Trustee of the Seldon Center

Dr. Daniel Wasserman-Soler, Executive Director of the Lumen Christi Institute

Rev. Jennifer English-Dumont, Pastor Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church 

Lunch will be served for those attending in person.
