New York—area readers may wish to attend an upcoming lecture by our own George Weigel entitled “The Fall of the Empty Shrine: The failure of secularism and the role of faith and reason in renewing the foundations of democracy.”
The event, which is co-sponsored by the American Bible Society, Crossroads Cultural Center, and World Youth Alliance, will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24 at the American Bible Society building in Manhattan (1865 Broadway). It is free and open to the public, but attendees must register before October 18 by emailing Margaret Sarci .
