State Department Posts Discussion of Role of Religion In U.S. Foreign Policy

Since 2010, the U.S. State Department has produced a series of online videos labeled Conversations with America. The videos feature  live interviews with the leaders of nongovernmental organizations interacting with State Department’s leadership. The latest installment, which appeared earlier this week, is on the Role of Religion in U.S. Foreign Policy.  It features Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, Suzan Johnson Cook and Institute for Global Engagement president Chris Seiple in a conversation moderated by Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Cheryl Benton. Both the video and a transcript of it are available online.
