Randall Balmer was our Zoom Guest 11/4
You may have seen work by Professor Randall Balmer, historian at Dartmouth, in Church and State, or seen him interviewed on PBS, and he had an op-ed, “The Religious Right and the Abortion Myth”, in the October 7 St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He is author of a new book, “Bad Faith and the Religious Right” (Erdmann’s, 2021). We were delighted to have him as our Zoom guest for a short talk, “Why Racism, Not Abortion, Birthed the Religious Right”, and a question/answer session on Thursday, November 4, 2021. A recording of the Zoom session is by clicking this link [Passcode was required inadvertently. No longer the case!]
