      Rev. Barry W.
      Lynn, executive director of Americans United, will speak on "Three
      800-Pound Gorillas Enter the Church-State Arena: And it's No Joke."
      Barry will emphasize three major church-state issues that are popping up
      around the country: illegal political activity by churches, government
      funding for religious groups with discriminatory hiring practices, and
      for-profit businesses withowners claiming religious objection to covering
      birth control for their employees. 
      The event also feature Katherine
      Stewart, author of The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth
      Assault on America’s Children. She has written for the New York Times,
      Reuters, and the Guardian. 
      Ellery Schempp, famous for being the primary student involved in the
      landmark 1963 United States Supreme Court case of Abington School
      District v. Schempp which declared that required public-school-sanctioned
      Bible readings were unconstitutional.
      And Jessica
      Ahlquist, a high school student, who was the plaintiff in a case
      where the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island
      ruled that a "School Prayer" banner posted in Cranston High
      School West was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the United
      States Constitution and ordered its removal. She will receive the 2013
      Religious Liberty Award of the Massachusetts Chapter.
      The reception and program are free and open to the public.
