Ken Starr (Part 2): Practical Advice whenTalking About Religious Liberty

3/30/2021
Judge Ken Starr is a pretty familiar name – he has a long history of public service and leadership in a number of different capacities. An attorney, legal scholar, judge, U.S. Solicitor General, law school dean, and was previously President of Baylor University. This is part of the conversation, I asked Ken to share practical advice for how to navigate difficult conversations about religious liberty. And what he believes what we can expect for religious liberty issues in the short- and long-term future. On the previous episode, Judge Starr shared what he calls the “great principles” that really define the American experience. These are the principles of autonomy, freedom of conscience, equal treatment under the law, and more. These principles are then applied to specific areas of public life protected by the First Amendment: speech, press, assembly, and so on. They are at the core of what you might call the American DNA… The basic building blocks for life as a part of this society, indissoluble across the spectrum of individual endeavors and ambition. They all begin with and flow from of the very first constitutionally protected right of all citizens – Religious Freedom. Judge Starr is a pre-eminent scholar on religious liberty – an issue that is increasingly in the spotlight today. He has a new book coming out in a few weeks called Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty from Encounter Books. Pre-order a copy now, wherever books are sold.
