Boisi Center • 12:00-1:15PM
The Obama administration has announced new regulations that require some religious institutions to provide comprehensive reproductive care to their employees. The Catholic Church sees this regulation as an impingement on religious freedom. In the spring 2010 panel, "A Matter of Conscience: Religious Exemptions and the Healthcare Debate," Dr. Michael F. Greene, Rev. J. Bryan Hehir and Melissa Rogers took up the question: How should churches and religious institutions balance respect for personal conscience with professional responsibility?
The House of Representatives recently passed two bills defending the use of religious symbols at military memorials. On Feb. 9, Fr. Richard Erikson and Jonathan Ebel discussed this and other issues at the crossroads of religion and the military as they asked what it means to fight for both God and country.
Faculty, Staff and Alumni: Join the Boisi Center Symposium on Religion and Politics. The group will meet 5 times in spring 2012 to discuss the role of God-talk in American politics.

The Boisi Center fosters conversations that seek to clarify the moral consequences of public policies in ways that help to maintain the common good while respecting America's increasing religious diversity.
