This spring, Faith and Law’s House, Senate and Intern Reading Group will be studying “William Wilberforce: A Man Who Changed His Times,” a booklet published by the Trinity Forum.
To kick things off, we’re planning a special Reading Group seminar on Wilberforce’s life and legacy (and legislative strategy) led by Mark Rodgers, former chief of staff and Principal of The Clapham Group.
Lunch will be served. Please RSVP to ensure we order sufficient food.
Mark Rodgers is the Principal of The Clapham Group, a company that seeks to influence culture upstream of the political arena. Mark served as the third-ranking Republican leadership staffer in the U.S. Senate for six years overseeing strategic planning and strategic communications. He also served as a high profile chief of staff to Senator Rick Santorum, working on Capitol Hill for a total of 16 years. He was known on the Hill for his work on such issues as poverty alleviation and global AIDS, as well as protecting life at its most vulnerable stages. Mark is a published writer and a speaker at large and small gatherings on the topics of faith and public life, culture and caring for the least of these. His work over the years has involved consulting with some of the largest foundations in the world, Fortune 500 companies, internationally known music artists and filmmakers, and even famous comic book creators. He earned a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from Penn State, and attended Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry. Mark is married to Leanne, and together they have four children and four grandchildren.
