God and Country: How Should Christians Think about and Engage in Politics
2024-11-03 12:30 - 14:00
In the midst of another contentious presidential election season, many Christians are confused about how to engage politically. Should Christians care about politics? If so, how should we be involved? Does the Bible and the Church provide any guidance?
We’ll explore all these questions with Dr. Bryan McGraw, professor of politics at Wheaton College.
Nov. 3 12:30-2:00 pm – Session 3: Christians and American Politics Today: How do we think about our place in a rapidly changing America? How can Christians express their values in politics? How do we think about voting? Location: Upstairs in St. Gregory Room. Bring your own lunch.
