Men's Weekly Study and Fellowship
Intersection of Church & State by Rev. Gregory Seltz
March 31-April 28 from 7:00-8:15 pm
Room 240, Family Life Center
In the United States, the relationship between church and state is an energetic one. Voices and viewpoints line up across the spectrum. Some would argue from history there should be a "wall of separation" between the two. Others maintain co-existence is not only necessary and inevitable but can lead to positive results.
In real life, church and state do operate in similar spheres - both conflictingly and cooperatively. See how they interconnect in The Intersection of Church & State.
While some may propose a church and state separation is feasible, breaking this long-standing liaison is not likely. Though each entity has its separate function-the state to "promote the general welfare" of its citizens, the church to deal with spiritual concerns in this world, with an eye to the next-in reality they work together.
The Intersection of Church & State examines the dynamic give-and-take relationship that has marked the crossroads of church and state in this country. Though roadblocks are frequent where the two meet, there is still tremendous potential for cooperative work to be done. Using expert commentary from academics, church and civic leaders, agency professionals and others, this program underscores the healthy collaboration between church and state in caring for the needy, settling refugees, child adoption, chaplain services, and more. It will also consider how these historical church and state partnerships are jeopardized. In the end, it will suggest a far superior metaphor in describing the church-state relationship is not one using a wall or barrier but, instead, an intersection, which benefits us all.
Monday's Men gather for fellowship, study, and small group discussion to strengthen the men's community and their relationship with Jesus. All men welcome!
