The Role of the Church in American Public Life: Past, Present, and Future
led by The Rev. Dr. Richard Baker
We will be discussing two recent books on the topic: Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy by Jonathan Rauch, and The Spirit of Our Politics: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life by Michael Wear. Coming from different backgrounds and different religious orientations, both authors agree that religious communities in general, and American churches in particular, still have an important—but now different—role to play in our public life. Wear, who is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, and has served as a trusted resource and advisor for a range of civic leaders on matters of faith and public life, including as a White House and presidential campaign staffer, will be our Faith and Civic Life speaker in the Fall.
The Journey to Jerusalem: A Story of Jesus' Last Days
This Lenten season, join us as we explore The Journey to Jerusalem; A Story of Jesus' Last Days by John Pritchard. This imaginative retelling explores the Gospel of Luke by looking through the eyes of the disciple John. The Journey to Jerusalem begins with Luke's account from Luke 9:51, as Jesus sets his face to go to Jerusalem. Books are available in the church office for $10.
