A Clash of Orthodoxies

Sounds interesting:

I was wondering if you might be willing to pass a bit of news on to your readers? Robert George, a primary author of the Manhattan Declaration, will be giving a talk in Oakland CA on August 25th, and we’re trying to get the news out:

“Join the St. Anthony of Padua Institute, on Wednesday, August 25th, for the Eighth Manhattan Forum lecture: the Clash of Orthodoxies. Robert George will tackle the issues at the heart of the contemporary conflict of worldviews. Secular liberals typically suppose that their positions on morally charged issues of public policy are the fruit of pure reason, while those of their morally conservative opponents reflect an irrational religious faith. George will show that this supposition is wrong on both counts. Challenging liberalism’s claim to represent the triumph of reason, George argues that on controversial issues like abortion, euthanasia, same-sex unions, civil rights and liberties, and the place of religion in public life, traditional Judaeo-Christian beliefs are rationally superior to secular liberal alternatives.

When: Wednesday, August 25th at 7pm.
Where: The Cathedral of Christ the Light Conference Center, 2121 Harrison St.
Admission: $50. Pre-registration is required.
