New TED Talk Calls for “Civic Religion”

Eric Liu, founder and CEO of the Citizen University, has a new TED Talk in which he calls for a “civic religion”, which he describes as “a framework of belief and practice for sustaining democracy.”

If you’re among the people whom Liu describes as “yearning for a frame of shared purpose and civic spirit,” it’s worth a listen, perhaps all the more so since Liu spent several years early in his career in the partisan role of speechwriter for Bill Clinton’s Whitehouse.
