LAW SCHOOL IS JUST NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. We never got to watch movies in class! Marc Stern   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Duncan Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 1:05 PM To: Law & Religion issues for Law Academics Subject: Re: FW: Feature films on church and state   There is a fantastic episode of the Babylon 5 television series called "The Believers" which I use as an introduction to Free Exercise in my Religion and the Constitution class. It is available on this DVD of the First Season of Babylon 5. The episode concerns an alien family that comes to the Earth Space Station (Babylon 5) seeking non-surgical medical treatment for their beloved son. The Earth government doctor performs surgery on their son to save his life, even though this is contrary to the sincerely held religious beliefs of the alien parents. The results are tragic. Absolutely fantastic introduction to Free Exercise. The students loved it!   Rick Duncan Douglas Laycock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Anyone have a good idea on this query from my librarian:    Doug, are you aware of any movies dealing with separation of church and state?    I can't think of anything but Inherit the Wind, The Courageous Mr. Penn, Hitchcock's I Confess (sanctity of the confessional), and A Man for all Seasons.   Douglas Laycock University of Texas Law School 727 E.
