LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts is set to headline a religious liberty event at the Capitol.

The event will take place Monday at noon in the Warner Chamber. Ricketts will sign a proclamation on religious liberty in the public square and will deliver the event’s keynote address.

Faith leaders are expected to gather for the public event. Archbishop George Lucas of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha will speak, as will Lincoln attorney Jeff Downing.

Ricketts spoke at a similar event last year to tout his support for public expressions of faith without fear of legal repercussions.
