Faith, Power & Resistance: Spiritual Infrastructure & Political Change
As authoritarian movements gain ground, faith communities are functioning as critical infrastructure for resistance — providing moral authority, organizing capacity, and institutional cover that shape political outcomes. This strategic panel examines how faith communities are responding to authoritarianism and how spiritual infrastructure can activate other pillars of society, including governance, culture, the economy, and systems of care. Panelists will share concrete examples of faith-rooted resistance and unpack the strategies, relationships, and interventions that allow faith communities to legitimize dissent, sustain movements under pressure, and shift power in real time.
