In anticipation of our upcoming election season, many Christians
are asking "Is there a Christian way to vote?" This conference will
go beyond the "Christian voter card" to considering holistic ways of
bringing our faith to bear in the public sector. We will explore the
relationship between church and state, seeking to develop a Christian ethic for
life in the public square. This will include consideration of the church as a
prophetic witness to Christ's kingdom amidst the kingdoms of this world. From being
a good neighbor, to filling out your ballot, to confronting and collaborating
on redemptive systemic and structural change, we will work toward a
comprehensive way of thinking about how our Christian faith shapes our public
witness as we engage our government and our communities.
Speakers at this
event will include David Austin (Mercy Corps, Program Director for
operations in North Korea), Gloria Young (Young
& Lamay Associates), Tom
Krattenmaker (USA Today, religion columnist), T. Allen Bethel (Maranatha Church,
Senior Pastor), Paul Louis Metzger (New Wine,
Director), Brad Harper (New Wine, Associate
Director), and others. Stay tuned for emerging details!

will be held on Saturday, October 27 from 9 - 4pm at Multnomah
Biblical Seminary. Register by October 1 to take
