I was honored to be asked to speak at the 2018 Faulkner University Lectureship during the “Church and Law” Day. I was asked to speak about issues with Copyright Laws that the Lord’s Church deals with today. This is an important study considering how much churches do online and in printed media. Please contact me if you should have any questions or wish to have the presentation given in your local area.
