Tackling the underlying threat to democracy

Guest: Mark Sappenfield

There are signs of deep political divisions around the world. Many have polarized into camps in which each side is convinced it is right and is unwilling to listen to the other. What's the remedy? This week's guest is Mark Sappenfield, Editor of The Christian Science Monitor, and he's been thinking and praying a lot about this. He shares what he feels is one of the key underlying issues in this divide, and how we might pray about it, too.

LISTENING OPTIONS

Youth Church & Sunday School

Christian Science Sunday School is a youth church for young people. It’s a natural place to feel close to God, good. It’s a space for children and teens to learn about the Bible and the teachings of Jesus, and how they relate to what’s happening now.

Sunday School gives youth the spiritual foundation they need to succeed in life.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. – Proverbs 22:6
