1/25   THE CHURCH AND POLITICAL, PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL ISSUES:  The relationship between church and state - a Lutheran perspective. Lately some pastors have been speaking from the pulpit about political issues and endorsing candidates. Is this right?  In Romans 13, Paul says, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God.” As we move into a new U.S. administration and the opening of a new session of the Minnesota Legislature, these are important issues to discuss.  Pastor Paul Tidemann leads our discussion.
