The Voice of the Prophets Today – Br. Curtis Almquist
About this episode
Br. Curtis Almquist discusses the necessity of the church's political engagement and the lessons from Hebrew prophets.
If the church is not involved politically – that is, involved in conversation and action around the principled exercise of power on behalf of the people – then the church is simply a bastion of nostalgia. Exploring the fundamental role of the Hebrew prophets, Br. Curtis Almquist argues that the church must remain politically engaged through the principled exercise of power to support those in need and by replacing xenophobia with philoxenia – the love of strangers – modeled by the prophets and Jesus.
