Do private property and religious liberty go hand-in-hand? Are they inseparable or not? Rev. Robert A. Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, will talk about how you cannot have one without the other and that they truly are indivisible and inseperable in a free and virtuous society.

Sirico and other friends of the Acton Institute at the University Club of Chicago on Wednesday, April 27 for lunch and hear what he has to say by reserving your table of eight or seats today!

About the Acton Institute
“Liberty,” wrote Lord Acton “is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.” In 1990, a priest from Brooklyn and a young businessman from Seattle set out to promote this idea by establishing a small think tank in Grand Rapids, Mich. Since then, the Acton Institute has become one of the world’s most respected voices on individual liberty, human dignity, free enterprise, and limited government. By connecting these elements to the insights of the Judeo-Christian tradition, our work incisively explores central questions of man, society, and culture. Through a broad slate of lectures, conferences, publications, documentaries, and DVD curricula, Acton impacts tens of millions each year with its trademark synthesis of faith and freedom. We are thankful to God and to our supporters for all we have accomplished, and look forward to extending this outreach in the years to come.
