Washington July 20 – On this Sunday’s “State of Belief,” The Interfaith Alliance Foundation’s show on Air America Radio, Rev. Welton Gaddy talks with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about the current crisis in the Middle East, religion’s role in that conflict, and more broadly about religion’s power in shaping world affairs and American foreign policy.  Albright is the author of The Mighty and the Almighty, a book that explores the influence of the radical religious right and condemns those who use faith to create divisions or to gain power.

Interfaith Alliance celebrates religious freedom by championing individual rights, promoting policies that protect both religion and democracy, and uniting diverse voices to challenge extremism. Founded in 1994, Interfaith Alliance brings together members from 75 faith traditions as well as those without a faith tradition to protect faith and freedom.
