Williams @ Work Webinar - Faith in the Midst of Crisis | Williams Alumni

2021-11-16. Williams @ Work Webinar - Faith in the Midst of Crisis Religion is just one of many aspects of life that have been touched by the pandemic.

Enabled by technology, encouraged by a societal focus on well-being, how might religious practice evolve beyond physical houses of worship? Three alumni faith leaders will reflect on the role religion may play in a post-pandemic world, while sharing their own personal and professional faith journeys since leaving Williams.
