Religious Freedom Colloquium Recap

unnamedRather than exploring the Cherry Blossom weekend, a number of UHP-ers along with Politics and Values students spent the entire day on Saturday contemplating and debating the limits of religious freedom in the United States. The event was made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton Foundation, and administered through the Institute for Humane Studies. It was co-taught by Profs. Sam Goldman and Theo Christov in the stately room of Post Hall. Readings included the history and philosophy of the idea of religious toleration along with recent Supreme Court cases that apply some of those ideas. After an intense day of debates and conversations, the evening concluded over food at Chef Geoff’s.
