Richard Mouw, Ph.D., a recognized leader in interfaith theological conversations, will visit campus Nov. 16 to discuss Catholics’ interaction and collaboration with people of evangelical faiths.
“Evangelicals and Catholics: New Opportunities for Mutual Understanding and Cooperation” – open to the public and media – will be held at 7 p.m. in Conference Room A of the University Center.
Mouw has returned to teaching as Professor of Faith and Public Life at Fuller Theological Seminary in California after serving as the institution’s president for 20 years.

He has written 19 books – including The God Who Commands, Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport, Praying at Burger King, and Talking with Mormons: An Invitation to Evangelicals. He also has been editor of the Reformed Journal and a panelist in the Washington Post online forum, On Faith.
