Religious Freedom: What It is and What It is Not

Past event
Mar 29, 2018, 7 to 8:30 PM

The League of Women Voters of Central Vermont and Kellogg-Hubbard Library is hosting the fourth of its series on the First Amendment, Freedom of Religion, rescheduled due to the snowstorm to March 29, 7-8:30 p.m., Kellogg-Hubbard Library, Hayes Room, Montpelier.

Keynote speaker Rob Boston with Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU), will provide an overview of the fundamental principles of religious freedom, focusing on current court battles that test the scope and meaning of this constitutional principle and how it interacts with other core freedoms.

Rob has worked at Americans United since 1987 and serves as editor of AU's Church & State magazine. He is the author of four books, most notably Why the Religious Right Is Wrong About Separation of Church and State and Taking Liberties: Why Religious Freedom Doesn't Give You The Right To Tell Other People What To Do.

If you are interested in carpooling from St. J, or getting picked up/dropped off afterward at a location along the way convenient to Rte 2, please mention that when you RSVP.

Join us for an animated conversation on church-state separation. RSVP: lwvofvt@gmail.com.
