The Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum and
Wesley Theological Seminary invite you to join us for a lively and timely discussion

Religious Tests for Office?
The role of religious affiliation in American politics, 2010 and beyond

Thursday, Oct. 14, 7 p.m.

Knight Conference Center

Washington, D.C.

Although Article VI of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any religious
test for office, the religious affiliation of candidates often plays a major
role in political campaigns. How important is religious affiliation in
contemporary American elections? What "religious tests" do voters apply?
As Mitt Romney prepares for another presidential run, and President Obama
combats confusion about his faith, join us for a provocative discussion of the
volatile mix of religion and politics in 2010 and beyond.
