Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the rising discrimination and hate crimes against Christians across Europe. From attacks on clergy to workplace discrimination, the data reveals growing hostility in countries like France, the UK, and Germany. What’s driving this trend, and how should governments and faith communities respond?
In the second segment of the show, we explore the legal battle General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists v. Horton, in which the Church is challenging a Maryland law that restricts religious hiring practices. Does the law protect against discrimination, or does it undermine religious freedom by forcing religious institutions to hire those who don’t share their faith?
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
