Last month, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, together with co-sponsors First Five Freedoms, The Temple, and Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church, brought together faith leaders, legal experts, and community members at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church for an engaging evening of conversation about the public good, the rule of law, and our shared civic responsibilities. As both a member of Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law and of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church, I was honored to act as host of this informative program. The program was called “Faith, Law & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law.” We are thankful all of the attendees.
We examined questions such as: What does it mean to protect the Rule of Law and why does it matter for all of us, right now? What are we as people of Faith, called to do when we are confronted with injustice and obvious threats to our Democracy and our Freedoms? What can we do?
We extend our sincere thanks to Rabbi Lydia Medwin, Rev. Jimmy Moor, Bill Clark, Jill Steinberg, Al Pearson and Carol Allums for their thoughtful contributions, and to Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church for graciously hosting us. Throughout the evening, we explored the vital role the rule of law plays in our everyday lives, the values that unite us across different backgrounds and perspectives, and the responsibility we all share in upholding fairness, justice, and accountability. The conversation doesn’t end here. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to the Georgians who continue to engage in meaningful civic dialogue and support the principles that sustain our democracy.
