In
1990 Herb Silverman ran for governor and challenged a South Carolina
law that prevented atheists from holding public office and won a Supreme
Court victory, but not the election. He went on to become a prominent
atheist and secular activist, and founded the Secular Coalition of America,
“a 501(c)(4) advocacy organization whose purpose is to amplify the
diverse and growing voice of the nontheistic community in the United
States.”
Silverman will be at Books on the Square,
471 Angell St. in Providence at 7:00pm this evening to talk about his
run for governor and his subsequent adventures to promote his book, Candidate Without a Prayer. (Even though I linked the book title to Amazon I suggest showing up and supporting Books on the Square, a fantastic local bookstore). This event was planned in conjunction with the Humanists of Rhode Island.
Silverman is a larger than life
personality and a gifted storyteller, so this is sure to be a great
event of interest to anyone cares about politics and religion
and where the two intersect.
You will understand prayer much better, if you will consider three questions that arise from the well known saying, Prayer changes things. pray for jerusalem
