"Faithful Politics or the Politics of Faith" Study
Men's Ministry Women's Ministry
Our United Methodist Social Principles states, "Our involvement in political systems is rooted in the gospel imperative to love our neighbors, to do justice, and to care for the vulnerable. As United Methodists, we acknowledge that love requires responsible political action and engagement aimed at the betterment of society and the promotion of the common good." How do we do that in a divided political system? How do we remain faithful to our calling as Christians in a context that has an "us vs. them" mentality that seeks to dehumanize opponents, ostracize the marginalized, and encourages discord and fear-based rhetoric?
Join Pastor Jeff on Mondays in October from 6:30–8:00 pm, in person or online, as we discuss ways we can navigate the troubled waters of the political process. We’ll explore a brief history of religious political engagement, dive deep into the United Methodist Social Principles, and seek ways to follow our faith in a time of great division.
