Joan Brown Campbell delivers the sermon at a 2008 worship service at the Amphitheater.
by Elizabeth LundbladStaff writer
Throughout her tenure as the director of the Depart-ment of Religion, the Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, affec-tionately known as Chautau-qua’s pastor, has championed the efforts of Chautauqua’s interfaith work, and now she is being recognized by a na-tional award.
Campbell, along with MS-NBC television host Rachel Maddow, is this year’s recipi-ent of the 2010 Walter Cronkite Faith & Freedom Award from the Interfaith Alliance.
“The Walter Cronkite Faith & Freedom Award, es-tablished by Interfaith Alli-
ance in 1998, recognizes in-dividuals who courageously promote democratic values, defend religious freedom and reinvigorate informed civic participation,” accord-ing to a news release from Interfaith Alliance.
Cronkite was the Honor-ary Chairman of Interfaith Alliance until his death in 2009. The award seeks to rec-ognize individuals whose actions embody the values of civility, tolerance, diver-sity and cooperation in ad-vancing public dialogue and policy on traditionally divi-sive issues, according to the release.
“The Faith & Freedom Award that
bears (Cronkite’s) name is a very
appropriate tribute both to Joan’s work and to the values
and ideals that she and Walter shared
so passionately, and that she continues in
his memory.”

Liptak, the Supreme Court corre-spondent for The New York Times, will present “The Roberts Court in the Obama Era” at the 10:45 a.m. lecture today at the Amphitheater.

To conclude a week of In-terfaith Lectures about per-sonal rights and justice re-lating to the Supreme Court, Paul Clement will speak to-day about the newest issues in this area: those that have surfaced since Sept. 11, 2001.
Clement, who also de-livered Thursday’s morn-ing lecture, will speak at 2 p.m. today in the Hall of Philosophy about “The Su-preme Court Since 9/11.” He served as solicitor general
from 2005 to 2008, has ar-gued more than 50 cases be-fore the Supreme Court and currently leads the national appellate practice for King & Spalding, a fi rm based in Washington, D.C.
Since 9/11, Clement said, the United States has had to face the challenge of balanc-ing liberty and security.
“In dealing with terror-ism, the government has felt the need to take steps that they clearly wouldn’t take during normal peacetime, if you will,” Clement said.
