Join us at the National Constitution Center to celebrate religious freedom then and now as we honor our historic congregations and all participants in our yearlong observance of the Semiquincentennial.

As 2026 comes to an end, we are left with probing questions: What are the challenges facing religious freedom today? How can we live into the promise of pluralistic democracy? What will ready us to reach out to our neighbors of different faiths and worldviews? How can we truly dare to understand? Join us for a panel discussion featuring community, civic, and religious leaders who will speak on these topics.

View the exhibition Pennsylvania’s Founding: How a City and a Colony Shaped America’s Civic DNA from 5:30 to 6:00 pm, followed by A Conversation on Religious Freedom panel discussion, moderated by Vince Stango, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Constitution Center. The event will also include the unveiling of a Religious Freedom Digital Quilt and sharing of impactful moments from 2026.

This program is part of the Religious Freedom: Then & Now initiative.
