About the Event
The League of Women Voters of Dayton has organized a talk with Randall Balmer, Ph.D., Professor in Religion at Dartmouth College and one of the premier historians of religious history. He will join us from New Hampshire via Zoom.
His book, “America’s Best Idea: The Separation of Church and State,” discusses the role of religion in American life and just made the New York Times bestseller list. The First Amendment clearly states that, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of thereof – but there are concerns about the future of this separation. Please join us in person at the library or via Zoom:
