Join us on Tuesday, Febuary 20th for the next installment of the James Wilson Institute and Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy's ongoing webinar series. Prof. Gerard Bradley of the University of Notre Dame Law Schoool will deliver a webinar on The Orignial Meaning of the Establisment Clause. As part of this series, we will be applying for CLE Ethics Credit in Virginia and Texas for this webinar.
Today’s culture is fraught with religious tension, with opposing interpretations of the Establishment Clause on the rise. Professor Gerard V. Bradley will conduct an inquiry into some of these opposing interpretations by analyzing opinions such as Justice Stevens’ dissent in Van Orden v. Perry, and the recent Kennedy v. Bremerton case. Professor Bradley will show how a clearer understanding of the Founder’s use of the Establishment Clause resolves the tension that the Court has been grappling with between Free Practice and Establishment. In this webinar, Bradley will set these two propositions side by side and will delve into the implications for freedom of exercise in America.
