Fall 2001 Tuohy Lecture Series: 'Islam and the Political Future'
John Kelsay, professor and chair of
Religious Studies at Florida State, held the Walter &
Mary Tuohy Chair of Interreligious Studies during the Fall semester of
2001at JCU, delivering a series of lectures on "Islam and the Political Future."
"For a long time Americans thought of Islam as
something 'over there,'" noted Dr. Kelsay, adding that today it is "the
fastest growing religion in the United States, bar none." The
series had been planned well over a year before the tragic events of
September 11th unfolded.
