CHURCH, STATE, AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT

A Continuing Legal Education Seminar by the Foundation for Moral Law

“God grant that in America true religion and civil liberty may be inseparable, and the unjust attempts to destroy the one, may in the issue tend to the support and establishment of both.” –Rev. John Witherspoon, Fast Day Sermon, May 17, 1776

Lawyers and laymen alike have been told for years that the First Amendment demands “separation of church and state.” But what exactly does that entail? The removal of God from government? And the exclusion of anything religious from the public square?Not at all. The First Amendment was designed to protect religious freedom and the public acknowledgment of God.Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore (http://www NULL.morallaw NULL.org/About_Judge_Roy_Moore NULL.html) and the Foundation for Moral Law (http://www NULL.morallaw NULL.org/) have created a new CLE, Church, State, and the First Amendment, to teach the truth about what the Constitution, America’s unique history, and even the United States Supreme Court have to say about

• First Amendment History and Jurisprudence
• The Rule of Law–Then and Now
• The Power of the Pulpit in American History
• IRS Restrictions on Churches & 501(c)(3) Organizations
• Modern Moral Issues in Judicial Opinions
• Ethical Concerns When Advising Churches

Equip yourself to properly advise clients, churches, and public officials about their religious liberty and the true meaning of the First Amendment.This CLE has been offered in Alabama and Georgia, with more states to come.View a printable brochure of a recent seminar.
