SUMMARY:Next Church Roundtable Discussion: Politics and the Pulpit
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nLEARN MORE About Roundtable Conversations with NEXT Church\nTuesday\, June 10\, 2025\nfrom 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM\nvia Zoom\nGrace Presbytery was invited to sponsor a Next Church national Roundtable Conversation on Politics and the Pulpit. What are the rules and regulations about “political activity” in churches or religious organizations? Is preaching on election topics okay? What about holding a voter registration event or driving folks to the polls? Join leaders from Texas Impact for a practical\, action-oriented conversation about ways churches can play a role in democracy\, without risking their nonprofit status or their credibility. Learn about the “Faith Votes” model\, find toolkits and resources\, hear stories of successful faith-based democracy-strengthening programs…and make your plan to step into the public square with confidence! Leaders for all states and contexts are encouraged to attend.
