Ep. 19: Politics in Church?

People have been talking about today’s show for generations, even though we’re not supposed to talk about it. After all, Jonathan Swift said in 1712, “You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into.”

Mark Twain said about today’s topic, “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics, a man’s reasoning powers are not above a monkey’s.”

Yep, I’ve got my friend the Rev. Sheldon Steen back in the studio today to talk about religion and politics. 

Rev. Steen has been working in ministry for fifteen years, earning a Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Columbia Theological Seminary. He began his professional work in youth ministry in Florida and Georgia, and then as the Pastor of Jasper First Presbyterian Church in Jasper, Florida. 

After serving as a Parish Associate at Faith Presbyterian Church in Tallahassee, Sheldon directed the campus ministry at UKirk Tallahassee, serving Florida State University and Florida A&M University. He joined Christ Presbyterian Church in June, 2020, leading the northeast Tallahassee congregation through the COVID-19 pandemic and at a time when almost every element of our lives, including our spirituality, is politicized.
