God as a Public Truth

Jay Richards, Director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation will be interviewing Stephen C. Meyer, Director of the CSC and author of The Return of the God Hypothesis about the idea that God might belong (as the founding fathers thought) in the public sphere, rather than in a merely “sectarian” category. Meyer will show that design in nature is one aspect of why this should be considered public knowledge.

The Heritage Foundation will be hosting this event which is open to both in-person and livestream attendees. The in-person event will be followed by a reception in the Allison Auditorium lobby with a free Chick-Fil-A lunch for those who attend in person.

PARKING: There is two-hour parking in the neighborhood surrounding the Heritage building, as well as a paid parking garage at Union Station (30 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002) which is .4 miles away.
