Faithful Engagement in Public Life: Resources for People of Faith

Faith and public life are deeply connected. The North Carolina Council of Churches' Faithful Voter Guide and companion Companion Toolkit invite people of faith to explore what it means to live out their faith in the public sphere. The Faithful Voter Guide provides the foundation, inviting individuals to reflect on how their faith speaks to the world around them through seven spheres of influence: Family, Education, Government, Media, Business, Arts & Entertainment, and Religion. The ​Companion Toolkit builds on the guide with practical resources for putting those reflections into conversation. It includes opportunities for prayer and reflection, discussion questions, context on what's happening in North Carolina and pathways for faithful civic engagement.. Use the Voter Guide to begin the conversation, use the Toolkit to take it deeper. The Council is also offering an upcoming webinar series from Sept 15 - 17 to introduce participants to the resources, walk through how to use the toolkit, and help congregations feel prepared to facilitate their own conversations. Together, these Council resources offer a pathway from reflection, to conversation, to faithful engagement in public life. Learn more & register→
