Grace Cathedral
The Forum is
a series of stimulating conversations about faith, ethics and culture.
We invite inspiring and illustrious people to join us on zoom for an authentic — and interactive — conversation with the Forum’s host, Malcolm Clemens Young, the dean of Grace Cathedral. Our guests range from artists, inventors and philosophers, to pop culturists, elected officials and faith leaders. In all of our conversations the goal of The Forum is singular: civil, sophisticated discourse that engages minds and hearts, encouraging us to think about the world in new ways. The Forum meets online on Wednesdays from 6 to 7 p.m. or in-person on Sundays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., and is free of charge and open to all.
