Religion and Politics Small Group Discussion May 11, 2008

Facilitator Bev Olsen continues the three-week study “Religion and Politics.” Our country was built on a foundation of separation of church and state, religion and politics. One church would not control the government, and the government would not control religious groups. And yet the founders and signers of the Constitution were mostly Christians from what would become mainline denominations in the new country. What role does our religion play in our political life? Is it just religious values we receive that should inform political decisions? Or should our religious institutions play a more powerful role and tell us who to vote for? We will look at the subject of politics and religion in the light of the ongoing campaign for president.

There is no charge for this class. Join us on Sunday mornings in Room 304 for a cup of coffee and thoughtful discussion.

Childcare is available for children aged 6 years and younger.
