August 9, 2009   TITLE:            Theopolitics: The Faltering but Ongoing War                         on Equality and Knowledge   SPEAKERS:   Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D.   Mel Seesholtz holds a Ph.D. in literary and linguistic theory and is professor of English at Penn State Abington. He will present an informative and provocative lecture to address the issue of religion as a target for theopolitics via the use of religious beliefs to justify denying gay and lesbian Americans' civil equality in relation to housing, employment and marriage. The other major target of theopolitics to be addressed is science, particularly the theory of evolution. There will be a round table discussion following the Service between Dr. Seesholtz and interested members of the congregation.
