WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM?

FEATURING A DEBATE BETWEEN:
NOAH FELDMAN & MICHAEL McCONNELL
Religious freedom has been called America’s “first freedom.” But what, if anything, distinguishes religious freedom from other freedoms? How this question is answered carries profound consequences for American public life and foreign policy. On Thursday, November 17, 2011 at Georgetown University, the Religious Freedom Project will host a keynote debate between Harvard's Noah Feldman and Stanford's Michael McConnell on this crucial issue. The event also features two related panels: The morning panel will explore the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and secular sources of religious freedom in the West, and the afternoon panel will explore the universality of religious freedom.
