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.
