LIBRARY GROUP SCHEDULES BOOKS, BAUBLES & BLING SALE AUG. 1-2 The Lord is Not on Trial Here Today, an award-winning documentary, will be shown Thursday, Aug. 7, at 4 p.m. in the Geldbart Auditorium at Selby Public Library on First Street in downtown Sarasota, the Women's Interfaith Network has announced. "It is a beautifully researched and remark- able story of how one citizen's courage and idealism profoundly affected a nation's future and forever changed the relationship between religion and the public schools in America," a news release says, adding, "And, no, [the person] was not Madalyn Murray O'Hair." The film will be presented by the Women's Interfaith Network of Sarasota/Bradenton/ Venice and the Center for Religious Tolerance, the release continues. It "tells the personal story behind one of the most important and landmark First Amendment cases in U.S. his- tory, the case that established the separation of church and state in public schools," the release notes. "More than 60 years after the decision," the release adds, "the conflict still resonates in church-state issues." The event is free and open to the public. The documentary is 60 minutes long, and it is closed-captioned. AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY TO BE SHOWN AT SELBY LIBRARY Image from the Facebook page Sarasota News Leader July 25, 2014 Page 78
