Thinking there may be themes similar to Pepperdine. 😉

1. Thanks for the heads up

I think he is also going to the LBJ library for a conference on Vietnam and to speak to Ken Burns, before going to Vietnam before Obama does. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2016/04/25/secretary-kerry-to-revisit-vietnam-war-before-obama-trip/

2. You are welcome. I sure wish...

...I had half his energy.

Seriously though, I am looking forward to what he says on this subject. Pepperdine was phenomenal. I just remember the seriousness of that speech AND that he was in a very conservative setting. This speech will have a similar setting, being at the Baker Center.

7. I think this may be a link to JK...

...at this summit on VietNam. http://www.vietnamwarsummit.org/live/

3. State Department link to text

I have read less than half and it is a fantastic speech - more like Yale, than Pepperdine - and there more on impact on policy than religion.

here is the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/kerry-explains-why-religion-can-play-a-role-in-us-foreign-policy/2016/04/26/b86eacf2-f6dd-4f6d-b1f4-5c16005c7261_story.html

It is always interesting to see things like this covered elsewhere - this is a pretty nice article:
