Seeking to engage high school juniors and seniors in thinking critically about religious liberty and church-state separation, the Religious Liberty Council of the Baptist Joint Committee is hosting its fifth annual Religious Liberty Essay Scholarship Contest.
This year’s topic will be to address John F. Kennedy’s advocating for separation of church and state and its implications on the politicians and leaders that followed.
Essays will be judged for depth of content, mastery of the topic and the skill with which they are written. Students should develop a point of view on the issue and demonstrate critical thinking, using appropriate examples and evidence to support their position. Winners will be announced in the summer of 2010.

All entries must be postmarked by March 1, 2010.(TAB)
