In recent years, the District's already-unparalleled cultural institutions have focused increasingly on the intersection of religion and culture. That's happened in a noteworthy way at the Smithsonian, which now has at least three curators dedicated specifically to religion, and with the emergence of Museum of the Bible just off the National Mall; Washington's cultural landscape has a distinctly more pronounced religious flavor. And more looms on the horizon, including a Jewish museum and a museum of American religion. This panel brings reporters up-to-speed on these and other developments and probes what they mean for our nation.
