The discussion was moderated by the center’s founder, Cole Durham, and also included Paul Kerry, an associate director for the center and a professor of history at BYU. The panel was part of an annual program on religious freedom sponsored by Brigham Young University’s International Center for Law and Religious Studies. “It is quite remarkable that an apostle would choose to devote this time and place at conference to talk about the issue of constitutional literacy,” said Christine Durham, who retired from the Utah Supreme Court in 2017 after serving as chief justice for 10 years (she overlapped with Oaks for two or three years), “and of the importance of the kind of principles, particularly moral agency, that is embedded in our national Constitution.” Others who joined the former judge Wednesday in an online panel on Oaks’ sermon agreed about the speech’s timing. He detected, Griffith said, “a sense of urgency.in it - that this needs to be heard and understood now.”
