Calvin College professor of political science Corwin Smidt will participate in a panel discussion on the role of religion in the recent 2008 presidential election and in future mid-term elections. The panel will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 16 at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C.
Smidt, director of the Paul B. Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity and Politics at Calvin, is author of "The Disappearing God Gap?," which examines religion's role in the 2008 presidential election.
Brookings senior fellow, and Washington Post columnist, E.J. Dionne, Jr. will offer his views on what the 2008 presidential election might mean for religion's role in the fall 2010 elections.
Smidt will be joined in Washington by fellow author, and Grand Valley professor, Kevin den Dulk, a Calvin graduate. Other authors on the book include James Penning, Stephen Monsma and Douglas Koopman.
