“The discussion will focus on how people who typically cannot agree on political ideology can still form worthwhile friendships with each other,” says discussion moderator Terrell Carter, chief diversity officer at GU. Carter cites the friendship forged by U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia as an example.
“They were polar opposites on the Supreme Court, but were best friends in real life.” Carter’s broad background in leadership, ministry, and law enforcement has afforded him opportunities to engage with persons from all walks of life. He holds undergraduate degrees in biblical studies and organizational leadership, a master of fine arts, and a doctorate in ministry.
