Adjunct Instructor at Dominican University
In ancient societies, religion and law were nearly synonymous. The United States and other modern democracies have erected (or tried to erect) what Thomas Jefferson called “a wall of separation between church and state.” The Religion and the Law course examines how religion and the law influence one another; how conflicts between law and religion arise; and, how courts attempt to resolve those conflicts. Considerable attention will be paid to the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause and Establishment Clause. This course is required for all BA in Legal Studies majors.

Advisory Board Committee Member at Center for Adventist-Muslim Relations at Oakwood University
The Center for Adventist-Muslim Relations at Oakwood University (CAMR-OU) is an innovative research and training organization that provides resources for developing meaningful relationships with Islamic individuals and communities. Through its programs, CAMR-OU nurtures sensitive witnesses who are committed to expanding the population of the Kingdom of God.
Informed by Paul’s strategy of “becoming all things to all people” (1 Cor 9:22), the method endorsed by CAMR-OU is neither driven by a desire to highlight the negative in Islam nor by the need to denigrate Muhammad. Instead, it intentionally emphasizes the positive in biblical Christianity by elevating the One who said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all people to me” (John 12:32).
