Caesar's Coin Conference, April 2008
Caesar's Coin: The Politics of God in a Pluralistic Society Conference, Wednesday, April 30 to Thursday, May 1, 2008
Is Christianity a source of political healing or division? How Christians speak of and work for such a politics in a secular and pluralistic society? Is it possible that Christianity offers a vision of reconciliation, rather than polarization, in political life? Jesus tells his disciples, "Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's" (Mark 12:17). For centuries, Christians believed that this verse taught that the rule of God should be divided between the church and the state. But what do these words mean for us today? The aim of this conference is not to rehash old positions and polarizations, but to stimulate new thinking and initiatives.
