In the midst of one of the most contentious election seasons of our lifetimes, in a culture riven by polarization, there is no shortage of voices telling Christians what to think about politics. But before we can begin to answer questions of whom or what to vote for, what stands to take or compromises to make, we must first learn how to think about politics. Why did God make us for political life? What does it mean to live in submission to imperfect and sinful governments? What is the purpose of law and how should Christians relate to the web of laws that structure our lives? Finally, how do we think about our dual citizenship—as citizens of heaven and as members of the particular nations to which God has called us?
Join us for a two-day mini-course in what it means to be good citizens and faithful Christians in a society where these are no longer the same thing. For more information or questions, please contact Tina Sease (TSease@StAndrews.Church, 843.284.4316).
