Toward Better Christian Politics
The After Party (TAP) is a video-based curriculum created to help Christians think about politics in a relational way rather than through the often divisive lens of partisan conflict. Instead of telling participants who to support or what positions to take, it invites people to explore how they engage politically by grounding their civic life in humility, hope, and love. Each session encourages participants to move toward becoming disciples who listen well, build genuine relationships across differences, and seek the common good.
Through teachings from Christian leaders, guided discussions, and practical exercises, TAP offers space for thoughtful reflection on how Christians can care about public life in ways that deepen community, heal polarization, and witness to their faith in faithful, hopeful ways, all of which are issues that will likely taken on added importance as the November midterm elections approach. To learn more, please check out this video overview of the course. If your church is interested in TAP, please contact Don Grant who is offering to facilitate the course this fall. Don is Professor of Sociology at CU Boulder and an ordained United Church of Christ pastor, who conducts research on political polarization in democracies.
