JOHN SUAREZ

Will The Wall Come Tumbling Down?
A Look At Church And State In America

The 200+ year experiment of separating Church and State in the United States has been a resounding success by most measures.

And yet, as a front line worker for decades on behalf of the preservation and promotion of the First Amendment,  JOHN SUAREZ maintains that the task becomes more trying year after year.  He will explore possible explanations behind this apparent inconsistency. and also review current hot-button issues in the church/state arena.
