Living a Christian Life in the Age of Internet, Isolation, and Elections (Part 3)

In our third episode of this sermon series, we begin to look at the involvement of Orthodox Christians in our elections and political campaigns. This homily sets the stage for the discussion of individual actions which will be the focus of next week's homily. In this talk, we look at how the Church has interacted with the evolution of classical liberalism and the political theory that led to republican/representative democracy. We also examine scriptural and historical relationships between Church and state and how various verses may be misused for political purposes.
