Separation of Church and State: A Worldwide View

Thursday, August 26, 2010 7:00 pm — 8:30 pm

Over two hundred years ago, a new country launched a bold experiment in government. A key element was what we know today as the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, and specifically the section dealing with the relationship between government and religion. Enough time has passed that we can assess the benefits and limitations of this “experiment,” including the reality that not everyone is happy with it. From there the discussion will proceed to an ambitious, jet paced tour through other countries and societies, using the American model, comparing and contrasting what is in place around the globe. Come join us for this stimulating evening.
