"Practicing Your Faith in the Voting Booth: A Conversation on Ethics and Elections"
Sunday, October 2, following SCC Morning Worship (~11:30 am) at the Storrs Congregational Church Parish House
No matter what your political or partisan leanings, it's hard to deny that we face a significant set of elections in our country this November. Transcending (or perhaps adding to) whatever partisan perspectives any of us may have, how do we approach participation in the electoral process from our places of faith? How do we think and act through coherent and faithful ethical and moral frameworks in our citizenship and political participation?
Come next Sunday, October 2nd, for an after-worship forum conversation on just these sorts of deep, discerning questions. Joining us will be
Dr. Ryan McAnnally-Linz, associate research scholar with Yale Divinity School's Center for Faith & Culture, who will present and lead us in thinking through these issues. Dr. McAnnally-Linz is co-author of the recently-released book
Public Faith in Action: How to Think Critically, Engage Wisely, and Vote with Integrity (
