Join us for Edward Whelan and Prof. James Sonne speaking on Religious Liberty in the New Millennium
One
of the signature achievements of the Obama administration, the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), has drawn almost as much
attention for
its impact on religious liberty as it has on other grounds. And this
increased concern over the religious freedoms Americans have
historically held dear is not limited to health-care reform. As
government has expanded into ever more areas of public and private
life, questions over religion and its status in law have once again
become central to the public discourse. Will the second Obama
Administration be characterized by increasing hostility for religious
liberties, or is there hope for common ground?
