The James Madison Christian Faculty Fellowship will meet at 7:30 a.m. Friday, October 3, at Mr. J’s Bagels on East Market Street. The topic of the discussion will be voting decisions by Christians. With Election Day just a month away, we will carefully consider the relationship between our faith and our voting decisions. As an essay in Christianity Today puts it:

. . . evangelicalism doesn’t function like an AFL-CIO, granting endorsements and delivering votes on election day. There isn’t an evangelical vote. We are not some pious voting bloc up for grabs. Regardless of how pollsters might pigeonhole us, evangelicals come from across a broad spectrum of society—pragmatic, purist, and in-between.

You may find the entire essay online here, and a related article here. We’ll spend some time on these articles and on anything else related to the election you’d care to discuss.
