We hope to confine the discussion to the following broad class of questions.

1.What is the role of religion in the politics of a pluralistic nation?
2.What are your thoughts about the separation of religious and civil authority (church and state)?
3.How do you feel about the way the political system treats non-Christians locally? Nationally?
4.How does your particular religious point of view affect your outlook on the issues mentioned above?

Audience participation will be expected after all panelists have had an opportunity to present their respective views.

We plan to terminate formal discussion no later than 9pm and to allow for private dialog beyond that time if necessary.
