If they can be found anywhere, it’s certainly in Provo. Our own Ralph Hancock, in conjunction with the brand new John Adams Center , is hosting a conference entitled God and Human Rights: Are Faith or Foundations Necessary ? The conference will run events at both BYU and Utah Valley University and feature the formidable David Walsh, Ralph, yours truly, and others speaking on a wide range of subjects April 12-14. If you follow the link above you’ll find a full description of the conference program. If you happen to be passing through Provo, it would be a shame to miss what promises to be a great event. Also, if you click on the YouTube link on the center’s website you can watch videos of previous events which include lectures by Peter Lawler and Dan Mahoney.
