Vote Faithfully: Episcopalians Engaging in U.S. Election

Details

Join Presiding Bishop Michael Curry with guests from across the church online on September 18 at 1 p.m. to explore the meaning behind voting from a theological perspective that centers this civic action as one expression of caring for one another and God’s creation. Webinar panelists will offer framing for healthy, faith-based civic engagement from the theoretical to the tangible, including addressing why it is important for Episcopal churches to leverage our resources to help our broader communities vote.

In an election full of increasing pressures—disinformation, the risk of political violence, disenfranchisement, environmental concerns, and more—come learn how to navigate challenges while remaining focused in our preparations to cast our votes in this fall’s election. Our panelists will provide an engaging discussion and direct attendees to resources that can help you encourage your parishioners and community to vote faithfully.

Panelists on the Zoom webinar will include:

• Michael Curry – Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church; New York, New York
• Willie Bennett – Senior Congregational Engagement Officer, Episcopal Health Foundation; Houston, Texas
• Joyce Statz – Health and Justice Advocacy Network (HJAN), St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church; Austin, Texas
