Starts January 6, 2006, in the Parlor Room
In this course we will discuss God and politics, the two topics we are told polite people never speak of! We will explore why many people feel that their faith has been "stolen" by one political side and ignored by the other. We will discover how to return to a faith rescued from the distortions of both Right and Left. And with a bit of grace all of us, Left and Right, will be challenged by a new vision for faith and politics in America.
Out text, God's Politics, by Jim Wallis contains thoughtful and inspirational discussion of faith and politics. Wallis urges the Left, the Right, the government, and the religious community work for real social change in America and the world, through emphasizing a new "prohetic politics." With a focus on spiritual values, Wallis share valuable insights to the problems confronting us and offers ideas and goals for implementing needed changes.
God's Politics challenges everything about our politics. It reminds usof the people who are always neglected -- the poor, vulnerable, and left behind. Wallis' evangelical Christian voice offers faith, hope, and direction to a nation on need of a renewed spiritual and political vision.
