On Tuesday, Eboo Patel, the executive director of Interfaith Youth Core and a member of President Obama's Advisory Council of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, will be at the University of Puget Sound to deliver a lecture titled, "Acts of Faith: Interfaith Leadership at a Time of Global Religious Crisis." Has there ever been a more appropriate time for this talk? OK, maybe the Crusades. But still. It's close.
