Noted philosophers, political theorists, religious studies scholars and legal scholars will discuss religious institutionalism at DePaul University College of Law in Chicago on September 26 and 27. The purpose of the conference is to expand the set of questions being asked about religious institutionalism beyond the narrow doctrinal debate over the meaning and scope of Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, to more fundamental questions about religious institutions from a number of different perspectives.
