Finding Our Niche: A Discussion about Faithful Civic Engagement

 

18 March 2021

3:00 pm CST

It’s hard to know what we should prioritize as Christians engaging in this cultural and political moment. What is more important when we engage in civics: supporting movements that focus exclusively on one social issue, such as abortion, or backing initiatives that address a broader range of topics that we care about? Many Christians, especially young Christians, feel like their views aren’t represented by any political party or standpoint.  

On March 18th  from 3 pm to 4 pm, Center for Faith and Flourishing will host Justin Giboney, founder of the AND Campaign, and Andrew Walker, a theologian and political commentator, on campus to talk about how Christians can faithfully engage in politics.

The God-Shaped Hole in Our Politics: A Muslim and Christian Dialogue About American Democracy

November 10th, 7:00 PM CST

Can religious faith protect us from giving politics too much power over us, and can our belief systems give us the resources to navigate our deepest disagreements without inducing violence toward one another? This discussion will give a Christian and a Muslim, who happen to be great friends, an opportunity to reflect critically on our political discourse and the future of democracy. In a moment when our politics threaten to be the only thing that matters, Kaemingk and Hamid imagine a better path: one where religious people steward politics, not the other way around.Join us at 6 PM CST to listen to our speakers and for our Q&A session!
