What is the current state of Christian leadership in America? What qualities should Christians insist on in their leaders? To what extent should Christians try to change the world?
The questions that confront the American church have never felt more pressing, while the examples of public leadership failures have never felt more plentiful.
So yesterday, in seeking to find our footing through this time, Madison Perry (Executive Director) had a conversation with David French, Senior Editor of The Dispatch.
Before the event, Madison offered this note:
David has attempted to think honestly and as a Christian about our current moment. His concerns run the gamut and he doesn't fall neatly into a partisan position. We'll be talking about questions like "How do healthy organizations foster a culture of accountability for people in the highest positions of leadership?", "How do you separate truth from ideology or conspiracy?", and "How should the church understand changes in culture and engage with them?"
We hope this is an opportunity for students and our extended community to think constructively together at a time when it is easier to shout than to reason. We expect that everyone who listens will find themselves at times agreeing and at times disagreeing with what is said. Above all, we hope that this conversation will help you to think clearly and live faithfully wherever you find yourself.
