Former Clinton White House press secretary Mike McCurry to speak at 黑料老司机on promoting civil dialogue in church & politics
Former White House press secretary Mike McCurry, now a professor at Wesley Theological Seminary, will speak on 鈥淔aith, Politics and Civil Dialogue鈥 at 黑料老司机on March 2.
McCurry was Clinton’s press secretary from 1995-98, the height of the Monica Lewinsky Scandal. He now dedicates himself to the study and promotion of civil, inclusive dialogue among people who disagree, both in church and in politics.
The event is sponsored by the Center for Faith and Learning at SMU.
“As White House press secretary during the period leading up to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, Mike McCurry was on the front lines of an administration dealing with scandal and a hostile press,” said Center for Faith and Learning director Matthew Wilson. “In this time of heightened tension and increasingly angry divisions along political, religious, and cultural lines, Mike McCurry will share his insights on how to disagree civilly and to find common ground even in the face of profound differences.”
The lecture is free and open to the public and will be followed by a Q&A session.
