City Visions: Keeping the faith: religion in the Bay Area

  What is the state of organized religion in the Bay Area?  A pair of 2015 surveys found that Americans increasingly identify as "spiritual but not religious" and that San Francisco is the nation's second most religiously unaffiliated metro area.  

Host Joseph Pace sits down with local religious leaders to discuss how they are addressing this shift, the impact of the current political climate on their programs, and how they are working together to address the pressing issues facing our region and our nation. 

Guests:

Imam Abu Qadir Al-Amin:  Imam of the San Francisco Muslim Community Center.

Rabbi Jason Rodich:  Rabbi with Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco.

The Very Reverend Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young:  Episcopal priest and Dean of San Francisco's Grace Cathedral.
