Being a Disciple in a Political Season
Date: September 26, 2024
Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
Beyond electoral campaigns and government structures, the relationship between the political realm and Christianity has always involved the important questions of how we ought to live together, and how we should organize and govern our common life. Politics must be guided by considerations of national and global justice and peace, and, for Christians, by the teachings of Jesus as interpreted by the Church’s tradition.
