Event Details

Join us on January 19 for an exclusive lunch briefing with Dr. Eric Patterson, President of the Religious Freedom Institute. He will be discussing global religious trends and their impact on U.S. National Security Policy.


The year 2024 promises to be a busy year on the global stage, with numerous upcoming presidential elections, global conflicts, climate issues, and more. It can be hard to keep track of what we should be aware of as it relates to upcoming trends and policies. That's why PCFR is excited to host Dr. Patterson, who will share what trends are happening in global religion and how the U.S. should adapt to those changes as it relates to security policy.


Dr. Patterson has provided briefings for multiple government agencies, including France's Ministry of Defense, the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command, U.S. Naval War College, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, the U.S. military academies, and now PCFR. Come prepared with any questions you may have and be ready to learn.


Lunch and drinks will be provided. Please let our team know if you have any dietary restrictions when you register.
