Home Street Mennonite Church Adult Education Series
What does my faith have to do with my politics?
Provincial and national elections are near at hand. Politicians face the press daily about how they are spending our taxes. As citizens, we have a voice and we can participate. How can our Christian faith inform the way we think, respond, and get involved? Join us each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the fellowship hall downstairs.
September. 8. Esther Epp-Tiessen will introduce the series and start us thinking and talking with each other about how our faith has influenced our involvement in politics.
September 15: Politics in the Old Testament: Living Out the Sovereignty of God, with Dan Epp-Tiessen. God wants divine purposes extend into every part of human life. While certain aspects of the Old Testament’s political vision continue to be life giving, others are problematic and even dangerous.
September. 22: Politics in the New Testament: The Empire, the Kingdom of God, and the People of God, with Gordon Zerbe, CMU. In the ancient world, there was no separation in of what we call “religion” and “politics.” The key question is not whether or not Jesus and Paul were “political,” but in what ways they were.
September. 29: Mennonites and Politics in History. David Rempel-Smucker will explore how Anabaptist/Mennonites have chosen either quiet non-involvement or active engagement in politics.
