A Fresh Perspective on Religious Freedom from One of the Nation’s Top Attorneys.
On Wednesday, November 14, Rumi Forum had the honor to host Luke Goodrich of Becket Law for a talk about his latest book, Free to Believe. Goodrich discussed why religious freedom is important and how it can be defended in contemporary America.
Many Americans feel like their religious freedoms are under attack and their beliefs will soon be punished as a form of bigotry. Others say these fears are overblown and Christians should stop complaining about imaginary persecution.
In Free to Believe, leading religious freedom
attorney Luke Goodrich challenges both sides of this debate,
offering surprising insights on the most controversial religious
freedom conflicts today—including gay rights, abortion rights,
Islam, and the public square. Goodrich shows that threats to
religious freedom are real—but they might not be what you
think.
As a lawyer at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, Goodrich has
won several historic Supreme Court victories for clients like the
Little Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby. Combining frontline
experience with faithful attention to Scripture, Goodrich offers a
groundbreaking book—full of clear insight, practical wisdom, and
refreshing hope for all people of faith.
