This weekend, December 13-14 at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome, the Religious Freedom Project of Georgetown University’s Berkley Center is hosting a conference on ” Christianity and Freedom: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives .” I will serve on two panels myself on Saturday, and am proud to be a member of the steering committee that has planned this important international conference, chaired by Timothy Shah of Georgetown and Allen Hertzke of the University of Oklahoma. The proceedings of the conference will be live-streamed online at this link , and video will be accessible at that link afterward as well. Luminaries such as Rémi Brague, Kenneth Starr, Robert Louis Wilken, John Witte, Thomas Farr, Marcello Pera, Paul Marshall, David Novak, and many others will be participating in the conference. Tune in if you can!
