I talked recently with John Stephens and Matt Russell of Chapelwood UMC in Houston, Texas for their Pod Have Mercy podcast. We talked about the politics of church (such as was presented in Resident Aliens by Stanley Hauerwas and me), honing in on what it means today that the church’s politics ought to be being the church God has called us to be and what the difference is in the pulpit between being political and being partisan. I also shared some thoughts about the future of the UMC.
