Ahead of the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, February 7, 2019, Rabbi Jack Moline, president of Interfaith Alliance, spoke out about the annual event:
“The National Prayer Breakfast has a checkered history of flirting with the inappropriate use of religion to determine public policy. Interfaith Alliance applauds the efforts of public officials to find common ground that makes governing a more collaborative experience, but we remain extremely cautious when a particular set of practices is elevated to the public arena and top government officials speak to the role of faith in the discharge of public duties.”
