Mark Hall speaks on religious liberty and same-sex marriage tonight

All are invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture tonight (Monday) when Mark David Hall, the university’s Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of Politics, speaks on the topic “Religious Liberty and Same-Sex Marriage: Conflicts and Possibilities” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The legalization of same-sex marriage and the adoption of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation have resulted in cases that may force some religious citizens to choose between their livelihoods and their religious convictions. Mark discusses potential and actual conflicts and draws from American history to argue that it is possible to protect religious liberty without undermining the common good.

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
