The Political Tragedy of the Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Cause Became a Conservative Partisan Campaign 10/02/2023

THE POLITICAL TRAGEDY OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT: HOW A LIBERAL CAUSE BECAME A CONSERVATIVE PARTISAN CAMPAIGN
Fifty years ago, some of the most prominent supporters of the pro-life movement were liberal Democrats who viewed the campaign against abortion as part of a larger quest to defend human life and protect the marginalized. But today the pro-life movement has linked its fortunes to the Republican Party - and the result has not been what the creators of the pro-life movement hoped. Join us for an exploration of the forgotten political history of the pro-life movement and the lessons this history might hold for its future possibilities.

Christianity Is Not Necessary For Democracy 03/28/2023

On March 2nd we hosted Prof. Paul Miller for a couple of talks on campus, and he has just published a companion piece to his lectures at Christianity Today.
“Supporting democracy is not the point of Christianity,” he writes. “It may be a happy side effect—after all, godliness ‘has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come’ (1 Tim. 4:8)—and so it is entirely plausible that Christianity has positive, unintended consequences that makes sustaining democracy easier. But Jesus did not become incarnate to make possible the First Amendment or inspire the US Constitution."

Christianity Is Not Necessary For Democracy The basic freedoms and human rights we enjoy as Americans do not require a cultural Christian majority.
