IN BRIEF
"Talking about Politics at Church"
The prospect of having political conversations at church makes many of us anxious. Why should we risk the conflict? And if we take the risk, how can we do so lovingly and constructively? Charlie Drew (a retired PCA pastor who worked at Trinity many years ago) believes that the church ought to be the safest place to talk about politics. In this contentious election season, we have invited Charlie to help guide us. He will lead us in a webinar to include small group discussion, private reflection, prayer, and worship. Charlie's seminar will help kick off a longer course on politics and Christian discipleship coming in late September. Charlie is the author of a recently published book, Surprised by Community: Republicans and Democrats in the Same Pew. The seminar will take place Saturday, September 19, 9:30–11:30 AM online. Register here for the seminar.
The Bible, the Church, and Politics
How can we cultivate wisdom in a season of endless promotional sound bites and bipartisan posturing? How can we use biblical principles as we approach the ballot? How can we love those we disagree with? How does the claim that "Christ is Lord” bear on any of this? This course will look to key biblical passages to help us faithfully engage politically as God’s Church. Wednesdays, 8–9 PM on Zoom, running from September 30–November 4. Register here.
