Michael I. Meyerson has released the titles of the 2014 Walter B. and Kay W. Shurden Lectures on Religious Liberty and Separation of Church and State.
The first lecture is titled “The False Divide: Religious Support for the Separation of Church and State.” The title of the second lecture is “Freedom of Religion: The Framers’ Extraordinary Compromise.”
The lectures will be held April 1-2 on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
A professor of law and Piper & Marbury Faculty Fellow at the University of Baltimore, Meyerson is also an accomplished writer. He is the author of three books, including Endowed by Our Creator: The Birth of Religious Freedom in America, and numerous law review articles and book chapters.
The lectures are the result of a gift made to the BJC in 2004 by Dr. Walter B. Shurden and Dr. Kay W. Shurden of Macon, Ga. Each year, an expert visits a college campus to speak about the importance of religious liberty and to inspire others to make an ardent commitment to religious freedom and the separation of church and state.
The Shurden Lectures are free and open to the public. Visit www.BJConline.org/lectures for the latest information.
