Details

Faithful discipleship engenders good citizenship. But many Christians wonder about their place in a public square that seems to be more diverse and perhaps hostile toward faith-based perspectives. How do citizens of the city of God inhabit the contested spaces of the earthly city? More specifically, how does worship form us for faithful citizenship without becoming politicized? This workshop focuses on how worship and other aspects of church life can shape us as citizens in a pluralistic and increasingly polarized world.
