Pacific School of Religion’s commitment to civic engagement, interfaith solidarity, and expansive belonging was recently featured in the East Bay Express.
In an article published October 27, reporter Janis Hashe explores how PSR is responding to the challenges facing faith communities and democracy, including the rise of Christian nationalism and faith-based misinformation.
The article highlights PSR’s participation in the October 17 No Kings/Vote Early mobilizations and includes reflections from President Rev. Dr. David Vásquez-Levy on the role of religious communities in public life. Vásquez-Levy speaks to the importance of civic participation, multifaith relationships, and the power of faith communities to challenge exclusion and build coalitions across differences.
At PSR, theological education extends beyond the classroom. It prepares spiritually rooted leaders to engage complex social realities, cultivate meaningful relationships across traditions, and work that builds towards a world where all can thrive.
As these conversations continue, PSR remains committed to equipping leaders and communities to bring faith, courage, and collective action into the work of democracy and social transformation.
