"Before the Virginia Statute: Patrick Henry and Religious Freedom"

Thomas E. Buckley, S.J., Professor of American Religious History at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, will present the Third Annual Governor Henry Lectures at Charlotte Court House on Sunday, April 6, and again at the Library of Virginia on Monday, April 7, 2003.

*A reminder: If you're planning to attend the Sunday lecture, remember to advance your clocks - Sunday is the first day of daylight savings time.*

A graduate of Gonzaga University, Father Buckley took his doctorate in history from the University of California—Santa Barbara and his doctorate in theology from the Weston School of Theology.
He is the author of Church and State in Revolutionary Virginia, 1776-1787 (1977) and an authority on church-state relations and the interaction of religion and social policy.

Dr. Buckley’s most recent books include The Great Catastrophe: Divorce in the Old Dominion (2002) and "If You Love That Lady Don't Marry Her": The Courtship Letters of Sally McDowell and John Miller, 1854-1856 (2000).
Father Buckley is currently working on a study of the implementation of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom from 1787 to 1940.

The annual Governor Henry Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation and the Library of Virginia.
The lectures are open to the public at no charge.

Professor Buckley’s lecture in the historic courthouse at Charlotte Court House is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 6, 2003.

His lecture at the Library of Virginia is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2003. Parking is available at the Library of Virginia at no charge.
