METHODIST MEGACHURCH GETS POLITICAL
AS KANSAS PREPARES FOR PRIMARY:
Kansas City Pastor to Deliver Final Sermon in Series on Faith and Politics
|
WHat: |
While Kansans and voters around the nation get ready for Super Tuesday’s primary election, one Kansas City pastor is opening dialogue about the issues and how to thoughtfully consider them during the 2008 election cycle. Pastor Adam Hamilton is rounding out his five-week sermon series, during which he has been challenging his 15,000-member mainline congregation to continue to think for themselves, seriously consider both sides of an issue and live courageously and lovingly as they face complex decisions. With a sermon titled “A Vision for America,” Hamilton will offer his answers to the questions “What would Jesus say to America?” and “What would Jesus say to the candidates running for office?”
Hamilton says his sermon series, which is based on his new book titled “Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White,” is for anyone who is hungry for solutions that don’t fit into a 60-second sound byte or anyone who misses civility and thoughtfulness in politics.

| whO: |
Senior Pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in suburban Kansas City, Hamilton represents a growing segment of Christians who seek to hold together the best of the left and the right, in what some call the “radical center.” His congregants form a microcosm of Middle America and how it will vote come November. Hamilton is the author of “Confronting the Controversies,” “Christianity and World Religion” and “Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White,” which is set to release on April 1, 2008 from Abingdon Press.
