Wheatley Institute partnered with the American Enterprise Institute on conference

Paul Lambert, Wheatley Institute Religion Director, was part of a panel discussion during a breakout session at the 2024 Braver Angels National Convention. The convention was organized in an effort to find ways to disagree better especially in politics and civic virtue.

I am not legally bound to honor the holy spaces of others, to make room for their beliefs and practices, or to respond to their religious speech with peace, tolerance and respect. But the norm of religious freedom creates a powerful social force encouraging me to do so.

Differences of opinion are part of life and differences of conviction are part of life too. I think we need to have the expectation that we're not always going to agree, even on the most important, even on the most personal, down-to-the-heart type of things. And that is okay. The way that we disagree is what's important.

Latter-day Saints provide something of a case study in the fruits that come when prosocial faith is provided space to live out its ideals.
