History professor William Issel will discuss the complex ways that the San Francisco Catholic Church and its lay men and women developed relationships with local businesses, unions, other community groups, and city government, and mobilized on this faith-based vision of the public interest. His latest book, Church and State in the City, will surprise some who think of San Francisco as the most secular city in America.  A book sale and signing will follow the talk.Issel is Professor of History Emeritus at San Francisco State University and Visiting Professor of History at Mills College. He is the author of For Both Cross and Flag: Catholic Action, Anti-Catholicism, and National Security Politics in World War II San Francisco (Temple) and Social Change in the United States 1945-1983. He is the coauthor of San Francisco, 1865-1932: Politics, Power, and Urban Development, and coeditor and contributor to American Labor and the Cold War: Grassroots Politics and Postwar Political Culture.Related Exhibitions and EventsRadar ReadingWednesday, January 9, 2013 Main Library, Latino/Hispanic Meeting Room A & BOn The Road Thursday, January 10, 2013 Main Library, Koret AuditoriumPoets 11 FinaleSunday, January 13, 2013 Main Library, Koret AuditoriumCelebrate Poet Laureate Alejandro MurguiaSunday, January 27, 2013 Main Library, Koret Auditorium One and Only: The Untold Story of On the RoadThursday, January 31, 2013 Main Library, Latino/Hispanic Meeting Room A & B More related eventsWhenTue, 12/18/2012, 6:00 - 7:30WhereLatino/Hispanic BMain Library100 Larkin St.Email HomeBooks & MaterialsLibrary CatalogYour Library RecordNew TitlesReader's CornerTrack Your ReadingShow AlleLibraryArticles & DatabaseseBookseMusicResearch ToolsSF Historical PhotosVideosPodcastsShow AllServicesAsk A LibrarianBorrow ItemsAccessibility ServicesGet A Library CardMeeting RoomsReserve ComputersExhibitions & ProgramsShow AllKidsTeensCalendarEventsExhibitsClassesShow AllLibrariesAll Library HoursMain LibraryAnzaBayviewBernal HeightsBookmobiles / MOSChinatownEureka ValleyExcelsiorGlen ParkGolden Gate ValleyInglesideMarinaMercedMissionMission BayNoe ValleyShow AllAboutAdvisory & SupportBlogsContact UsJob OpeningsLibrary AdministrationLibrary CommissionPoliciesPress RoomPublic NoticesShow AllSearch options...Explore CatalogClassic CatalogSite SearchW3C XHTML 1.0 ValidatedContact | FAQ | Ask A Librarian | Job Openings | Take Our Survey | Branch Library Map | Mobile Site Copyright © 2002-2012 San Francisco Public Library.
