The Saint Benedict Institute will co-sponsor the event "Thinking About Faith and Politics in our Democratic System" on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 7:00 PM.

Does the mandate to love one another require us to engage in the political life of our nation?

How can we respectfully promote Christian principles in a pluralistic society?

Dr. David Ryden, professor of Political Sience at Hope College, will address this topic at a forum on faith and politics in our democratic system at Herrick Library (300 South River Ave.).
