NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lessons learned in church aren’t of much use unless they are applied to daily life.
In a four-part community education series beginning on Monday, March
1, ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ University professor Victor Anderson will focus on three
issues and explore how faith can be the starting point for responsible
civic participation.
The "Theology & Civic Empowerment" class is part of the
continuing Relevant Religion series sponsored by ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ Divinity
School.
Anderson, associate professor of Christian ethics, African American
studies and religious studies, will take on the issues of the death
penalty, same-sex unions and racial reconciliation during the series.

Avenue S., from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 1, 15, 22 and 29. The cost is
