Religious liberty is considered by many to be America’s “first freedom.” But what does this mean, and what are its implications? How can we properly, and wisely, defend it?
We are pleased to invite you to the 2015 First Things Lecture in Washington, D.C., “The Perils of Religious Liberty,” presented by Yuval Levin(*).
The free event will be held at George Washington University on November 11th at 7:00 p.m.
The HHS contraceptive mandate and the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell to legalize same-sex marriage nationally have heightened a sense of urgency in religious communities about preserving religious freedom. Nevertheless, we should not lose sight of this freedom’s proper role in society and the appropriate way to advance it.
Levin is the Hertog Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and the editor of National Affairs. He has been a member of the White House domestic policy staff (under President George W. Bush), executive director of the President’s Council on Bioethics, and a congressional staffer. He holds a B.A. from American University and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
