LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 6, 2011) — Can religious leaders make political endorsements without jeopardizing the tax-exempt status of their houses of worship?
That question and others will be addressed at "Politics, Taxes, and the Pulpit: Provocative First Amendment Conflicts," a conference sponsored by the University of Kentucky College of Law from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Oct. 12, in the UK College of Law Courtroom.
The conference will discuss issues explored in the text of the same name, recently published by Oxford University Press and co-authored by UK’s James and Mary Lassiter Distinguished Visiting Law Professor Nina J. Crimm and Professor Laurence H. Winer of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
The conference will feature a presentation by the authors with comments by UK College of Law Dean David A. Brennen, UK law professors Joshua A. Douglas and Paul E. Salamanca, and the Rev. Nancy Jo Kemper, interim associate dean for interreligious life at Transylvania University.
The conference is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Amanda Debord at amanda.debord@uky.edu.
