FEATURING NVLP VISIONARY:

Bishop Barbara Harris

Topic: Change For The Future: The Church, Youth and Society

Religious leader, civil rights activist and NVLP Visionary Bishop Barbara Harris holds the distinction of being the first ordained female bishop of the United States Episcopal Church. Bishop Harris has been a force of change for women, people of color, and the poor around the world. She remains today what she has always been an activist critic of the status quo who constantly strives to break new ground.

This roundtable discussion focused on the future of the church:

• Should the church maintain its traditional standards or make changes that
  reflect its communities?
  
• How can the church best speak to the hearts and minds of young people eagerly searching for real answers and results?
  
• What is the role of the gay community in the church?
  
• Separation between Church and State?
  

During the first part of the 90 minute Roundtable, members of the intergenerational audience, limited to 20 guests, discussed these issues with Bishop Harris one-on-one.

In the second part of the Roundtable, two panel members joined Bishop Harris expanding the discussion and offering other points of view.
