Dr. Charles C. Haynes sits down with BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler to preview his upcoming presentations — focused on the rights of conscience — for the annual Shurden Lectures, coming to the campuses of Mercer University in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, on March 20-21. Haynes is the founding director of the Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum Institute, and he has focused his career on the relationship between religion and public life. From common misconceptions about the role of religion in public schools to where the battles of conscience are happening now, you won’t want to miss this conversation about a crucial intersection in American life.
