The Pastor's Table

From Anabaptist to Anglican: Finding a Middle Ground in Faith and Governance with Dr. Michael Bird | Politics & The Kingdom (Part 5) | PT 90


Listen Later

Dr. Michael Bird returns to The Pastor’s Table and tries to persuade Mark & Tara Beth to be Anglican.  

“We hold these truths to be self-evident.” This beloved phrase from the Declaration of Independence isn’t “self-evident” for everyone in the world.  Dr. Bird gives a helpful perspective to understand the pervasive impact of the Christian Gospel on society.  

Dr. Bird discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Anabaptist tradition, the role of Christians in politics, and the historical roots of democratic systems in Christian thought. This dialogue explores how Christians can navigate participation in government while maintaining theological integrity and offers practical insights into balancing prophetic witness with political engagement.
