University Ministry is bringing NETWORK, a Catholic social justice lobby in Washington, D.C., to the McNichols Campus for a workshop on faith and politics on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 5 p.m. in the Loranger Architecture Exhibition Space.
The workshop, titled “Equally Sacred Issues: Social Justice Workshop,” will engage students in discussion and reflecting on the importance of being a well-informed and discerning multi-issue voter, or a Pope Francis voter.
Pope Francis has written that caring for immigrants, dismantling racism, and putting an end to immoral levels of economic inequality are equally sacred to caring for the unborn. The workshop will be grounded in Catholic traditions, but will also incorporate interfaith elements, allowing students from a variety of religious backgrounds to use similar principles for being informed and discerning voters.
Registration is not required, but highly encouraged. The workshop is expected to last 75 minutes.
