The Separation of Church and State – What It Really Means & Why We Advocate

When a faith-based leader or organization responds to the actions of government leaders or policy, it is not uncommon for the question to be asked, “What about the separation of church and state?”

It’s a valid question about a tenet that is often misunderstood. Join the diocesan Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to take a look at the separation of church and state, what it really means, what it calls us to do, and how we are answering that call. During our time together, we’ll

Define what the separation of church and state really means.

• Discuss why people of faith are not excused from advocacy; we’re actually called to do it.
• Look at what the Diocese of North Carolina and The Episcopal Church are doing.
• Share effective ways to advocate.

This conversation is part of the Gun Violence Prevention Conversation Series. There is no cost to attend, and a recording will be made available following the event.
