(BCF Constitution article II section 2, preamble and part b)Originally intended as a weekly seminar throughout the school year, this has been re-cast as a four-part IAP seminar featuring panels of Boston-area ministers leading discussions on issues of faith and politics. We are trying to secure funding to buy Bibles for attendees so they can follow references made during the discussion.

The Bible is replete with examples of God's concern for justice and social welfare. Based in large part on this, the church as an institution has historically played a political, economic and social role in the lives of its members. Here we will trace those themes as they appear throughout the Old and New Testaments, and discuss their relevance to some of today's most pressing issues.
