Conference on Politics

Tomorrow Stefano will speak at the
Italian Evangelical Bible Institute in Rome
at a seminar on: "The believer and politics. Opportunities, risks and 
a biblical proposal".

It is a great opportunity to engage with students, teachers, pastors and visitors on this "hot topic", 
to evaluate from in the light of God's Word how 
God’s perspective on politics is joyful “good news,” just as the rest of the Bible is good news for all areas of life!

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  Philippians 2:5-11
