Understanding Polarization in American Pews with Dr. Ryan Burge
March 15 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for an engaging virtual conversation with Dr. Ryan Burge, with an optional dinner, watch party, and facilitated discussion at VPC. Dr. Burge is a nationally recognized political scientist whose work explores religion in the United States.
Drawing from his book The Vanishing Church, Dr. Burge will help us better understand the growing polarization in American pews—what’s changing, why it matters, and how faith communities can respond thoughtfully and constructively in this moment. This will be a large-group Zoom conversation, not a webinar, with opportunities for participation and shared reflection.
This event is jointly sponsored by VPC, Westminster Presbyterian, and First Presbyterian of Arlington, and offers a welcoming space to listen, engage, and learn together.
