Politics, Polarization, and Prophetic Ministry

June 01, 2024 in Faith In Action

As the attention of the world focuses on the 2024 elections, what will be the role of churches that embody the prophetic tradition of the Christian faith? What will preachers say from the pulpit? How will justice-centered ministries be called to act? These can be difficult questions to answer in the context of church cultures in which there is a fear of political conflict and polarization.

In this webinar, we will address these critical issues and questions with the help of our featured panelists. Dr. Obery Hendricks has authored both "The Politics of Jesus" and "Christians against Christianity," while the Rev. Dr. Leah Schade has authored both “Preaching in the Purple Zone: Ministry in the Red-Blue Divide" and “Creation-Crisis Preaching.”

Even if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time on June 12th at 10 am AZ / 11 am NM&EP, still sign-up, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. Register now!
