Free lecture and lunch: Tuesday, April 19 from 12noon-1:30pm in the UMC, room 245,"The Role of Politics in Leaving Congregations – A Reconsideration" by Anand Sokhey, Assoc. Professor in the Department of Political Science. Several high profile studies have identified politics as an important force driving people away from religion. The argument is that the dogmatic politics of the Christian Right have alienated liberals and moderates, effectively threatening the future of organized religion in America.
