Have you ever wondered if what is occurring in Iowa with extreme legislation is also happening in states across the country? Are the extreme bills that mix religion and government coming from other states? Or from national organizations with an agenda? Join us for a virtual Crossroads in April to listen and learn from Nick Nartowicz, who has a great handle on public policy attacks across the country. He’ll share the efforts he is seeing at the state level and also what is happening at the federal level regarding extremism and separation of religion and government.
Crossroads will be online only in April due to a conflict at Plymouth Congregational Church. Registration is required!
