The United States is entering what may be the most contentious election cycle in modern times. People around the world are worried and seeking direction. Journalist Ray Suarez, who has covered national politics for decades with the Public Broadcasting System, Al Jeerez, and Public Radio International, has done so as a person of faith. As a devout Episcopalian, he brings a helpful and reasoned viewpoint into how Christians might move through this time with grace, respect, and hope.

“I think our nation is at a critical point right now,” said Mr. Suarez, “We’ve never seen such contention and division, however I do think there is a way Christians can faithfully navigate these waters.”

In this course, Suarez gives us four presentations: the challenge of civility, scripture and civility, what civility might look like, and how we might get there.

The Big Class is a series of video lectures, quizzes, and discussions. No special software is required. It will take an average learner about 45 minutes to complete. Registration is free and open to all. Click here for more information and to register, there you’ll find resources for congregational use, including downloadable posters, bulletin inserts and a Launch Guide.
