Join SMWC retired Professor of Theology & Ethics, Dr. Patricia McIntyre, as she surveys the ethically complicated intersections of individual faith, constitutional liberties, and public law. This course explores the legal and political structure that governs implementation of the two religion clauses of the First Amendment, the inherent contradictions within them, and the way both politics and jurisprudence shape their implementation in society. The course identifies what rules apply now, what is changing, and proposes a cooperative structure that seeks maximum liberty and protects the common good.

Fee: $20.00
