UW-Eau Claire Centennial Hall, Room 1614 | Free and open to the public

Join us for a special National Free Speech Week event as the Menard Center for Constitutional Studies presents acclaimed journalist and author Jonathan Rauch, discussing his new book, “Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy.” Rauch—an atheist and longtime defender of liberal democracy—offers a bold critique of both secularism and modern Christianity, calling for renewed collaboration between believers and non-believers in defense of constitutional values and religious freedom.

In conversation with UW–Eau Claire Professor Adam Kunz, author of “To Hell with Heaven”, this timely discussion will explore the shifting relationship between religion, free expression, and democracy in modern America.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking exchange on the future of faith and freedom in America.
