How should our faith affect our participation in civic life? What would it look like for believers to be a countercultural force in an era of polarization and division, rather than simply another interest group supporting its chosen political teams? How might churches and faith-based institutions think about equipping the laity for faithful and thoughtful public engagement? As we enter an election year, it’s a particularly fitting time to consider these questions.
Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Michael Wear confronts the relationship of faith and politics in his forthcoming book The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life. Rather than treating political activities as a tertiary interest, he claims that “politics is an essential forum in which we live out our love for God and neighbor.”
We invite you to join us for an Online Conversation with Michael Wear, Friday, January 26 at 1:30 p.m. ET as we consider how to love our neighbors in the way we engage with public life.
Thank you to our co-host, Zondervan, for their support of this event!
