Liz Cheney and Jon Meacham Discuss Principles Over Politics at the National Cathedral
WASHINGTON – Washington National Cathedral will host former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for a forum titled “Principles & Politics: An Evening with Liz Cheney and Jon Meacham.”
On Wednesday, April 24, at 7:00 p.m. ET in the Cathedral’s nave, Rep. Cheney will join Canon Historian Jon Meacham for an evening of conversation discussing how America’s leaders can put principles first in this election season, and how all Americans can find a better way to be in relationship with each other.
This forum is presented by the Cathedral College of Faith & Culture as part of the Cathedral’s “A Better Way” programming, a series of events designed to help Americans live together, learn from each other and find a way forward as a nation in polarized times. In his role as Canon Historian of the Cathedral, Meacham leads public conversations several times a year on faith, spirituality and civic life issues.
“To lead with principle is to navigate the complexities of politics with integrity and conviction, fostering a culture of respect and understanding even amidst profound disagreement,” said the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral. “We’re honored to host Rep. Cheney for this timely and crucial conversation.”
“Principles & Politics” is open to the public for in-person and online attendance; tickets are $25. Participants should purchase tickets here for in-person attendance.
Media is welcome to this forum in person and should contact Eleanor Donohue for details.
