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.”
This year’s program will include Rev. Raushenbush’s presentation, audience Q&A, and a complimentary reception. The program is FREE and open to the public, but RSVPs are required. Registration deadline is November 5.
It will be held at the School of International Service (Abramson Family Founders Room) on the campus of American University, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20016.
