Rodger Payne, UNC Asheville associate professor of religious studies, will continue UNC Asheville’s philosophy lecture series with a talk on "Religious Diversity in the United States." He will discuss Thomas Jefferson's quote, "Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion."

A donation of $5 will be suggested at the door.

The program is part of a year-long, nine-part series co-sponsored by UNC Asheville’s Philosophy Department and the Institute for Applied Philosophy. The series, "Great Quotes," is designed to foster discussion of philosophically significant issues surrounding well-known quotations.
