Jesus tells his followers to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14). But what do these calls mean for Americans in 2021? How do Christians resist both cynicism and triumphalism, preserve their public witness in a democratic society, and work for solutions to complex social problems?

 

Vincent E. Bacote, Professor of Theology at Wheaton College will explore these questions as the inaugural speaker for the Geneva Forum at Upper House, this year offered virtually. Drawing on the Reformed tradition, Dr. Bacote will outline a public theology that calls the church to transcend the deep polarization in our world, seek the common good, and pursue justice for all.
