You’re invited to join Meadville Lombard Theological School on Zoom for a public conversation on May 11 at 6pm CT. Fish Stark, American Humanist Association (AHA) Executive Director, joins Elías Ortega, Meadville Lombard President, for a conversation on the separation of church and state: why it’s integral to social and economic justice, why church-state separation advocacy is a threat to the broader authoritarian project, how advocacy on these issues can bring theists and non-theists together, and what is working in the AHA and coalition partners’ efforts to defend religious freedom under the current administration.
