What Comes Next: Addressing Politics as a Church After the 2024 Elections
(Online)
Resource available until June 2025
Course Description: The 2024 elections were momentous, and they may do more to reshape not only American politics, but also civil society and religious life more than any election in memory. The resources included here—updated continuously over the coming months as circumstances dictate—are meant to help churches and their members make sense of and pursue faithful action in light of the reshaping now underway. They remind us that negotiating “what comes next” is bigger than any individual or church can do—and also that, when seen through the eyes of faith, what comes next is bigger than politics.
Suitable for review by both individuals and groups, this online resource will help you scaffold those conversations and your preaching as you learn about key issues impacting the imminent political landscape. More than a dozen recorded workshops and interviews, along with study guides for small groups and Sunday school classes, will help you and your congregants have thoughtful, substantial conversation about hard topics at the center of this year’s national election. This is a self-paced, self-directed resource, allowing you to prioritize the material most compelling to you and relevant to your community. Starting in January 2025, additional opportunities to connect with CTS faculty and other users of the resource will be provided to registrants.
