Acton lecture tackles religion and politics

7 July 2011

The Annual Acton Lecture on Religion and Freedom in 2011 will discuss the question, “what is the influence of religion on politics”?

The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) public policy ‘think tank’ provides critical recommendations to public policy and encourages debate amongst leading academics, politicians, journalists and the general public.

This year, the CIS annual Acton Lecture on Religion and Freedom will be delivered by prominent Zimbabwean politician, human rights lawyer, and pro-democracy activist, David Coltart. Senator Coltart is a committed and active Christian, and was a founding member of the Movement for Democratic Change, now in uneasy but determined coalition with long-reigning President Robert Mugabe. In 2009, Coltart was appointed Zimbabwe’s Minister for Education, Sports, Art and Culture.

The lecture will be held on 26th July in the Theatrette of Parliament House (Parliament of NSW) in Macquarie St, Sydney, from 5:45 pm – 7:00 pm. Tickets are for sale, $15 from http://www.cis.org.au/events
