TONIGHT! Hear the Executive Director of the Kentucky Council of Churches on "Faith and Politics: Therapists Needed"

Faith and Politics: Therapists Needed

a discussion about Religion in America by

The Rev. Dr. Marian McClure Taylor

Executive Director of the Kentucky Council of Churches

The religious ferment in the US makes us better able to absorb people from many parts of the world, makes political discourse focus on values, and mobilizes huge armies of volunteers and donors. Our civic life would be radically different without it. But there is a pathology that has set at odds many faith adherents who should be together. The pathology is bad theology fed by fear and personality type differences. We will explore that pathology, the harm it causes, and the therapies that heal it. Can we become the therapists that are needed? Can needed social reforms succeed otherwise?
