Join us for a panel discussion featuring Shaun A. Casey, the founding director of the Department of State’s Office of Religion and Global Affairs, under Secretary of State John Kerry. Prior to the panel, he’ll present his new book, titled Chasing the Devil at Foggy Bottom, in which he highlights his tenure at the State Department to make a compelling case for integrating the “faith factor” into the American practice of global diplomacy.

Chasing the Devil at Foggy Bottom is both a memoir of life inside the Beltway and a call to think more broadly about faith’s role in world affairs and how the United States can play a more effective role in peace and justice.

Panelists

Ruth Messinger, global ambassador, American Jewish World Service; former Manhattan borough president

Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Egypt; current professor of Middle East Policy Studies, Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs
