Event Description

Dr. Bramsen shares about his 2021 sabbatical where he interviewed 26 area pastors about the impact that political polarization is having on church life and on the views their congregants take about a variety of hot-button issues. He is currently working on a paper to synthesize the insights gained from these interviews and set them in the context of broader political science research. In this presentation, he will present the working version of his manuscript.
