Where did the separation of church and state come from — and what does it really mean today?

Join us at noon on June 30 for Tuesday Talk as Tony Robinson explores the origins of this foundational constitutional principle, tracing its historical roots and examining its role in American government then and now. Whether you come with questions or convictions, this promises to be a thought-provoking and timely conversation.

All are welcome.  We’ll have tea and coffee!
