Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany are back again this week for Perspectives Pastors Podcast, continuing the multi-week conversation of Imago Dei – investigating what it means to be made in the image of God and celebrating the diversity of humankind. And this time, they’re discussing a rather divisive topic: political perspectives.
This digital Bible study is inspired by Psalm 9:7-10. Join the discussion to hear these two female pastors’ views on:
- What the Bible says about politics.
- Whether God shows up in political situations.
- How Imago Dei applies to political structures and rule.
- The politicization and radicalization of compassion, justice, and other Biblical concepts.
It’s a lot to digest. If you would like to examine these concepts with others, we invite you to head over to Patreon where you can connect with the First United Methodist Church of San Diego online community and unlock some additional inspiration. Or connect with our in-person Convergence group as you think about these questions posed by the clergywomen:
- How do you respond to the needs of the oppressed in times of trouble?
- How do you think God defines righteousness?
- What’s the difference between equity and equality?
