Former atheist to speak at First Baptist Church in PTC

William J. Murray, the Christian son of well-known

atheist Madalyn Murray O"Hair, will speak Monday Aug. 17 at 7

p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Peachtree City.

Murray was an active atheist, the subject of his mother's

legal actions against religious activities in schools, until 1980

when he became a Christian. He says his "initial introduction to

God" came through a 12-step program when he was in recovery

for alcolohism. O'Hair cut her ties with William after he walked

away from her ways of thinking, and the two have not spoken in

about 20 years.

Murray is outspoken on the effect of legal decisions

against Bible reading and prayer in public schools as a contributing factor

to moral decay in America. For more information about his

appearance, call 770-487-8133, extension 201. The church is located at

211 Willowbend Road in Peachtree City.
