Christian symbols, messages, and ideology have permeated American politics since our nation's founding. Often a source of base support for conservative Republicans, Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election, yet some claim the President's personal life and actions do not reflect the values that Evangelicals live by.
Today, we discuss the Evangelical movement and its influence in our democratic system.
Guests:
- Frances Fitzgerald, author of The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America
- Pastor Rich Nathan, Vineyard Columbus
Event:
- "Evangelicals: A New Way to Look at American History": Francis Fitzgerald will give a talk at the Fawcett Center followed by a panel discussion. Monday, November 6, 7pm.
