Christians and Public Engagement: Challenges and Strategies

Description

Citizens of the European Union face the challenge of managing both national political responsibilities and those for the EU as a whole. For Christians, the aim is to seek God's justice in both arenas. Recently the European Court of Justice has been attempting to expand its legal reach to impact national laws on marriage, genetic engineering, stem-cell research, and abortion. This lecture gives guidance on how Christians should respond when the EU imposes its agenda on member states.
