PILGRIM

PILGRIM / RICHARD JOHN NEUHAUS

There is no necessary connection, but it could be more than coincidence. The Williamsburg Charter on the First Amendment Religious Liberty Clause was formally signed on June 25, and four days later the Supreme Court decided Bowen v. Kendrick. Chief Justice Rehnquist, who wrote the majority opinion, had earlier read and endorsed the Charter. Whatever may have been the connection, if any, the Court’s opinion very nicely exemplifies the argument of the Williamsburg Charter.
