On Thursday, April 18th, more than 200 faith leaders, elected officials, leaders in business and education, and concerned citizens will gather for the 3rd Annual Freedom of Religion Roundtable to discuss the legal, social, and political trends surrounding religious liberty in Georgia.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Paul Murray, Vice President of Religious Freedom Initiatives at the Global Peace Foundation. The evening will also feature a roundtable discussion on religious freedom with panelists 11th District U.S. Congressman Barry Loudermilk; State Representative David Wilkerson; Rabbi Alexandria Shuval-Weiner of Temple Beth Tikvah; Kemal Korucu, former Board President of the Southeast Islamic Community Center and former VP of Atlantic Institute &amp; Interfaith Dialogue Coordinator; and Reverend John H. Vaughn, D.Min, Executive Pastor, Ebenezer Baptist Church.
While guest speakers and panelists come from a wide range of political views and religious affiliations, all share a common desire to protect religious liberty in America, and a recognition that a threat to the religious liberty of one American is a threat to the religious liberty of all Americans.
The Religious Freedom Roundtable will be held on Thursday, April 18th, from 6-8PM, at 4680 Hadaway Road, Kennesaw, GA. For more information, see <a href="https://www.thefreedomtoworship.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.TheFreedomToWorship.com</a>.

Join Georgia Philharmonic on an interplanetary musical journey as we conclude the 2023/2024 season with Holst’s groundbreaking work, The Planets, accompanied by video and images from NASA and other leading space agencies. 
Holst was inspired by the importance of the planets in Roman and Greek mythology and ultimately composed a work of seven movements, each of which is named after planet of the solar system and its astrological character. Holst described this work as a “series of mood pictures” each evoking a different idea and emotion: Mars—the destruction of war; Jupiter—jollity and patriotism; Venus—peace; Mercury—fluidity and volatility; Saturn—the wisdom of old age; Neptune—infinity of space; and Uranus—the magic of the cosmos. Used as inspiration for the soundtrack to popular films such as Star Wars, this is a season finale you won’t want to miss!
