The Washington Theological Consortium invites you to attend the 23rd annual Tachmindji Event at American University on November 8, 2026, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. We welcome the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President & CEO of Interfaith Alliance, who will speak about “Democracy as a Reality.”

In recognition of his extraordinary leadership this past year, we wish to honor Rev. Raushenbush with this unprecedented return engagement following last year’s focus on “Faith and Courage in Authoritarian Times.”
