Our US Electoral Process | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

Second Half Speaker Event
"Our US Electoral Process"

featuring Gordon Christenson
Sunday, January 10
6:00 pm
via Zoom

Is the way we choose our President in a democratic Republic working as the Founders intended?

As part of their Second Sunday Speaker Series, Church of the Redeemer's Second Half Ministry is pleased to welcome Redeemerite Gordon Christenson to their January Speaker Event. Gordon will present and invite us to participate in a fascinating discussion on the US electoral process within our democratic Republic. Our electoral process has had extensive news coverage in recent months, some informative, and much mis-informed. Many people seem to have great distrust in the system. Gordon will provide historic and legal perspective on the workings of our electoral process as mandated by the US Constitution. We will tackle such issues as:

What is the electoral process, what has just happened, and where are we now?
Does the current process as amended protect the integrity of all legitimate votes?
Why is the current process so distrusted?
Is the Electoral College process obsolete? If so, what next?

Gordon is uniquely positioned to address these questions. Gordon has taught constitutional and international law at six major law schools and at the US Naval War College and is now Dean Emeritus and University Professor Emeritus of the University of Cincinnati College of Law. He is a devoted member of Church of the Redeemer and currently serves as a lector and is an active member of the Thursday Morning Bible Study.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We love children, and children love Church of the Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at Church of the Redeemer. Children learn about the word of God through our Children's Christian Education programs; they are involved in worship services, they play music in our services, and they form lifelong friendships with each other through their experiences.

The Church of the Redeemer is blessed to have received special gifts from parishioners who wanted Redeemer to have permanent savings to care for our facilities and to supplement our pledge income.

Such permanent savings are often called an “endowment.” The endowed funds are permanently set aside by donors or by the Vestry. Some of our donors have specified uses for their endowment gifts. A limited portion of the funds is distributed each year to supplement our general budget. All funds are invested with professional advice.
