Vote Faithfully: Episcopalians Engaging the U.S. Election

  • Episcopal Church of NH 63 Green St, Concord, NH 03301 (map)

Join Presiding Bishop Michael Curry with guests from across the church exploring 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. 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. Panelists will provide an engaging discussion and direct attendees to resources that can help encourage their parishioners and community to vote faithfully.
