PAX: Election Mini Course

Instructor:  Drew Jackson | Partner: PAX
Learning Pillar:  Theological Imagination| Rigor Level: Low

 

Welcome

We are living in a time of great confusion, with uncertainty of truths, dramatically different reporting of the same incident, and a time when up seems down and down up. The campaigning for this election has presented more undermining of the opposition than a clearly defined understanding of in-office action items. For all of these reasons along with the spectacular divide that we are experiencing in our congregations, workplaces, public spaces and home, we are offering an Invitation to Vote for PAX (peace). For each of the seven days leading up to the election, November 5, 2024, we will be dropping a Pax-Shaped Reflection as a resource to support and guide you through this election season. We hope this helps you find and maintain your own peace and brings to a calmer place from which to lead and navigate your days.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this mini-course, you will:
  1. Have gained knowledge of scripture passages of peace.
  2. Have a better understanding of  Jesus's contribution to your peace.
  3. Have a greater understanding that your vote helps to create a pax-shaped future.
