The BenOp: Rethinking Christian Civics

6/24/2016

0 Comments

 
In a series of Gleanings posts last summer, we took a look at American religion by the numbers, how we as Christians should be preparing for exile in the post-Christian age, and Rod Dreher's idea of The Benedict Option, and later addressed what this means for the church. This week's Gleanings looks again to the BenOp and its call to rethink Christian civics, as well as learning from some who have gone before us.
