Is there a place for patriotism in Christian discipleship and worship? What does homeland sound like for citizens and non-citizens, for those who are estranged from their country and those who feel at home, for those who look for the coming reign of God yet live in this particular nation. Learn how one church engaged these issues in the local context of Princeton as they created a civic service of prayer for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. You’ll come away with tools for engaging your own contexts – personal, congregational, communal, and national.
