Live Webinar: “How Can I Talk to Family & Friends Who Dislike My Politics?” with Ron Sider

Friday, September 18 at noon EST

As a Christian, you have problems with many of President Trump’s policies and statements. But good friends and family vigorously disagree with you. Your attempts to start the conversation have produced silence or anger. How can you start the conversation in a way that leads to respectful discussion of your different views?

Join Ron Sider and our friends at First Baptist Church of Philadelphia for an engaging conversation about how to connect across deep political differences in this election year. Dr. Sider looks forward to responding to your live questions.

Ron Sider is known worldwide for providing leadership to the movement of evangelicals who recognize not just the spiritual, but also the social and political implications of a high view of Scripture.

His book Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger was lauded by Christianity Today as being among the top 100 books in religion in the 20th century and the seventh most influential book in the evangelical world in the last 50 years.

In addition to Rich Christians, Dr. Sider has written more than 30 published books, including Evangelism, Salvation and Social Justice; Christ and Violence; Cry Justice: The Bible on Hunger and Poverty; Completely Pro-Life; Good News and Good Works: A Theology for the Whole Gospel; Living Like Jesus; Just Generosity: A New Vision for Overcoming Poverty in America; The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience: Why Are Christians Living Just Like the Rest of the World?; The Scandal of Evangelical Politics: Why are Christians Missing the Chance to Really Change the World?; I Am not a Social Activist: Making Jesus the Agenda, and Fixing the Moral Deficit: A Balanced Way to Balance the Budget. He also edited The Early Church on Killing: A Comprehensive Sourcebook on War, Abortion, and Capital Punishment.

In the 1970s, Sider played a key role in the drafting of the historic Chicago Declaration, which helped set the direction for evangelicals concerned about the Bible’s social implications. He is the founder and President of Christians for Social Action (CSA), which for more than four decades has provided an organizational outlet for Christians committed to holistic ministry.

An ordained minister in the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches, Sider has lectured at numerous educational institutions, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Oxford.
