Adult Education & Spiritual Formation
From the Pews to the Public Square with Rev. Carmen Mason Browne

We are encouraged to live out our faith with The Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other (Karl Barth). Our care and engagement for the community must include engagement with what happens in the public sphere and how our local laws and politics govern how justice and equity are administered in our city and in the world. How can Calvary be a space for deliberative dialogue, discourse, and discernment? And how might we take those important conversations and turn them into action and transformation in the public square?
