This is a workshop you won't want to miss if you:

  •    agree that the Constitutional principle of separation of church and state must be preserved and protected;

  •    agree that government and religion function optimally when their missions are not entangled;


  •    agree that the "grassroots" actions you take can influence decisions regarding public policy.


    • Further information on "charitable choice" is available at: http://www.au.org/welfare.htm
