Profile of a First Amendment Defender

Yesterday's Tampa Weekly Planet carried an extensive profile of Brent Walker, Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs. Walker, a political moderate, is a strong supporter of church-state separation. Says Walker, "The best thing government can do for religious liberty is to simply leave it alone. If any of us are going to be free, then all of us have to be free. This is not a pick-and-choose proposition."
