Faith in Policy: A Conversation with Current Staffers
Thursday, July 25th-5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
You are invited to join us at our upcoming panel, Faith in Policy; A Conversation with Current Staffers featuring Cruz Perez, Tamika Mason, and Lydia Abma. We look forward to seeing you July 25th at 5:30 pm in the Dirksen Senate Office Building Room 106 (SD – 106).
Topic Summary
What does it mean to be a Christian public servant? How can Christian public servants steward their vocations for the common good of all? How might being a Christian influence our perspectives on public policy — and is it okay for Christians to come to different conclusions? For Christian public servants, these are important questions that impact both our personal and public lives. We look forward to exploring these questions with current congressional staffers Cruz Perez, Tamika Mason, and Lydia Abma and discussing the role of faith in policy.
