Dr. Jonathan Chaplin's lecture "Speaking From Faith Without Destroying Society."
Christians rightly argue for the legal protection of diverse political views and resist undue constraints on religious freedom. But how does defending the freedom of thought and belief in the political realm relate to our duty of solidarity with our fellow citizens and our desire for cooperative action? In an age where many claim ‘religious’ grounds for extreme political positions, how can we defend religious pluralism without destroying society itself?
