Politics, Power, and the Future of the Church
October 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The church in America has come to a crossroads, and it must ask the question: How should the church be involved in politics? American citizens have a responsibility to vote; it is one of the privileges of being a citizen. But what is our responsibility as Christians? In a world where politics have been reduced to power and control; where political parties are constantly bombarding Christians with supposed “biblical” or “theological” reasons for voting for their specific candidate; where name calling and outrageous lies have become the norm…what are Christians to do? What will become of the church in this environment? Dr. Jay Smith, President of Yellowstone Theological Institute, seeks to give an answer to this and other questions, as he discusses, “Politics, Power, and the Future of the Church.”
