The last five years have proven a shaky ride for religious liberty in government and the courts in the United States. Things have moved so quickly that you sometimes feel it's hard to keep up. That's why we invited Mark Movsesian to our offices in early August for an appraisal of where people of faith currently stand in regard to the law and to the Executive Branch.

Professor Movsesian is the Frederick A. Whitney Professor of Contract Law and the Director of the Center for Law and Religion. He writes in law and religion, contracts and international and comparative law; his articles have appeared in the Harvard, North Carolina, and Washington & Lee Law Reviews, the Oxford Journal of Law and Religion, the American Journal of International Law, the Harvard International Law Journal, and the Virginia Journal of International Law.

Please join us for a lively conversion and a look at things to come.
