SUMMARY:Faithful Preaching in Changing Times: What the Recent IRS Interpretation of the Johnson Amendment Means for You
DESCRIPTION:In a pending case in Federal court in Texas\, the IRS has reinterpreted the Johnson Amendment—potentially opening the door for churches to engage more directly with electoral politics during worship if they choose to. But would that be wise\, and what does it really mean for Episcopal preachers? \nJoin this online forum for a timely and practical conversation with Episcopal diocesan chancellors and experienced preachers as we explore: \n\nWhat has—and hasn’t—changed legally in the wake of this new interpretation\nWhat this could mean for your preaching\, especially on politically charged issues\nHow to remain faithful\, courageous\, and informed in the pulpit\nWhat bishops are saying (or not saying) across dioceses\nWhether you’re a rector\, curate\, deacon\, or lay preacher\, this webinar will equip you with essential legal context\, pastoral insight\, and practical tools for proclaiming the gospel boldly and responsibly in uncertain times.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain clarity\, ask questions\, and leave better prepared to preach the Good News in a complex political landscape. \nPanelists Include: \n\nRichard J. Hoskins – Distinguished Senior Lecturer\, Northwestern University School of Law; Chancellor Emeritus\, Episcopal Diocese of Chicago; Partner\, ArentFox Schiff; Chicago\, Illinois\nThomas A. Little – Chancellor\, Episcopal Diocese of Vermont; Member\, Standing Commission on Structure\, Governance\, Constitution & Canons; Partner\, Little & Cicchetti\, P.C.; Burlington\, Vermont\nLisa Hackney-James – Dean\, St. James Cathedral; Chicago\, Illinois\nRandolph Marshall Hollerith – Dean\, Washington National Cathedral; Washington\, DC\nErin Maus – Member & Chancellor\, St. James Cathedral; Board Member\, EPN; Partner\, Venable LLP; Chicago\, Illinois (moderator)\n\nRegister Here
