Federalist Society Event: Politics in the Pulpit – May 20th

Federalist Society: This event is co-sponsored by The Alliance Defense Fund . . . Our panel will examine the application of the Johnson Amendment to religious ministers in their preaching duties during worship services. Does the Johnson Amendment constrain clergy from effectively imparting messages integral to their faith, or is it an appropriate safeguard to ensure that churches and government limit their respective activities?

Professor Douglas Laycock, Yale Kamisar Collegiate Professor of Law, The University of Michigan Law School
Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Executive Director, Americans United for Separation of Church and State
