Dr. Glenn Moots of the Northwood University faculty will explore the topic "Is There
Such a Thing as a Christian America?" on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. in the Fried-Hemenway
Auditorium in the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication at Hope College.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Moots is a professor of philosophy and political science, and director of the Forum
for Citizenship and Enterprise, at Northwood University in Midland. His publications
include the book "Politics Reformed: The Anglo-American Legacy of Covenant Theology."
Sponsored by the departments of political science, religion and history at Hope, the
lecture will discuss whether America is a Christian nation, whether it ever was one
and whether it is even possible for America to be one. Moots's talk will examine the
intersection of religious and political life in the American context, and explore
the relevance of the debates to contemporary politics.
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave.,
at the corner of Columbia Avenue and 10th Street.
