July 26 - Manipulating Faith: An Update on Texas Christian Nationalism – Amy Slaughter and Wil Jeudy

Sermon Description:

Amy Slaughter graduated from the University of Texas and taught art for three years as an altruistic young woman who loved kids before turning to the dark side. She became an attorney after graduating from the University of Houston Law Center. Luckily, her love of children led her to work with families through adoption and dealing with matters involving children's protective services. She currently works for a local firm on the island. .

She was raised in a Southern Baptist Church, a mega church, and considers herself a product of both private and public school education. Amy currently identifies as Christian and currently attends Trinity Church in Galveston. It is her firm conviction that there are as many ways to study, pray, and worship as there are people to study, pray, and worship. Fundamentally, she feels that freedom of religion is equally freedom from religion for those who do not believe in any god. For those who do believe it is freedom of conviction on how, when, and where to worship, because all worship relies on a personal relationship with God.

Wil Jeudy is an urgent care physician by day and a secular activist the rest of the time. He is the State Director (Texas) for the American Atheists where he helps keep the secular groups in Texas healthy and active. He is the chair of the American Atheists's "Secular Advocacy Team" which tracks and testifies for/against bills during the Texas legislative session. He is on the Advisory Board of the Center for Freethought Equality. He is very involved in the local secular groups including Houston Oasis, Houston Atheists, and SHORE. And finally, he formed the group Secular Houston which organizes the secular political voice in the greater Houston area, endorsing candidates that align with our values, and teaches constituents how and where to direct their energy to affect change through a secular prism aka Separation of Church & State.
