The Politics of Neighborly Love: Christian Citizenship in a Divided Age

In our mission at the Center for Faith + Work Los Angles, we aim to help Christians reframe their vocation to reshape culture. One of the ways we realize this is through periodic events that are culturally relevant to bringing the gospel to bear on every square inch of life—including the way we approach government and political engagement through a Biblical lens.

This is why we’re excited to partner with a handful of likeminded faith and work institutes across the U.S. to present “The Politics of Neighborly Love: Christian Citizenship in a Divided Age” on September 17 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. PT.

Recent election cycles have left many Christians feeling discouraged and disillusioned. America’s two-party system has left many believers feeling politically homeless when casting a vote feels like compromising values. Tweet storms and partisan bickering have replaced constructive dialogue and keep us from asking deeper questions about what it means to be citizens and followers of Jesus Christ. Join Christians from across the country for a thoughtful conversation that will help you:

  • Develop a biblical, non-partisan framework for understanding our role as Christian citizens;

  • Balance the personal right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” with a broader call to love our neighbors and serve the common good; and

  • Engage critical issues in this fall’s election through the lens of faith.
