UPCOMING EVENTS
,
AU Rochester to co-sponsor a talk by Boston University law professor Jay Wexler. The event is being organized by the Atheist Community of Rochester. Wexler will be speaking about his new book "Our Non-Christian Nation: How Atheists, Satanists, Pagans, and others are demanding their rightful place in public life."
Along with Americans United, additional co-sponsors include the Secular Humanists of Rochester; Rauncie Ryan, Pagan Chaplain, MzMedusa Productions; Western NY Satanists; & Nox Craft Cocktails & Comfort Food.
Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Greenwood Books & Jay will be happy to sign them.
Among the places Jay visited on his cross country trek researching this book was Greece, NY, where two non-Christian residents challenged the local town board's practice of starting off meetings with Christian prayers thus precipitating a lawsuit that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and which inspired atheists & others to begin delivering invocations before their local government meetings. Americans United lawyers argued that case.
Place: Nox Craft Cocktails & Comfort Food
302 Goodman St. N., Rochester, NY
Date: Saturday, Nov. 23 Time: 7 PM
Free & open to public.
