Leading church-state separation advocate to retire
Barry W. Lynn, an outspoken champion for church-state separation, has announced he will retire at the end of 2017.
“The last 25 years have been amazing,” Lynn said in a statement about his pending departure as executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Lynn, 68, a lawyer and ordained United Church of Christ minister, started at Americans United in 1992. Previously, he worked for the American Civil Liberties Union.
