CBC’s The Sunday Edition is hosting a live forum tonight at 7pm in Toronto called The Public God, a provocative discussion about the role of religion in government and public policies. Fighting over God author Janet Epp Buckingham will be a panellist.
All Torontonians are invited to attend this FREE event and contribute to the conversation. We will be sharing the forum on the MQUP blog after it airs this Sunday, April 13th, on The Sunday Edition. Click here for details
From before Confederation to the present day, religion has been one of the most contentious issues in Canadian public life. In Fighting over God, Janet Buckingham surveys a vast array of religious conflicts, exploring both their political aspects and the court cases that were part of their resolution. Subjects are explored thematically with chapters on the history of religious broadcasting, education, freedom of expression, religious practices, marriage and family, and religious institutions.
Contentious issues about religious accommodation are not going away. Fighting over God cites over six hundred legal cases, across nearly four centuries, to provide a rich context for the ongoing social debate about the place of religion in our increasingly secular society.
