Souls to the Polls?

God Squad: Souls to the Polls?

It’s an election year. Should churches have political candidates speak at Sunday services? Should clergy tell congregants how to vote? Should congregations organize political rallies or get-out-the-vote efforts? What are the proper lines for religious involvement in politics? And what are the consequences (to the body politic and to religious communities) when these lines get crossed?

This program is part of our 13th season of God Squad, hosting improbable conversations for people of faith and no faith at all "because talking politics wasn't hard enough." We hope you'll take a moment to check out the full season of programs here.

God Squad is 13 years old.
We hope you'll join us all year.
