Date: Wednesday, January 16, 2019

Time: 12:15-1:15

Location: Tate 473

The speaker for the January CFF meeting will be Professor Randy Beck, UGA Law School Associate Dean for Academic Affairs & Justice Thomas O. Marshall Chair of Constitutional Law. His topic will be “God, Caesar and Taxes: Living at the Intersection of Two Legal Systems.” An abstract of his talk is below.

Abstract:  Christians are citizens of the kingdom of God who simultaneously live within the jurisdiction of a human government. Potential tensions, and even dangers, can arise for those subject to two sets of legal obligations imposed by two distinct authorities. Jesus’ response to a challenging question about paying taxes to Caesar offers insight for living faithfully and wisely in a polarized culture.

 We will provide a light complimentary lunch to everyone who sends in their RSVP by Tuesday, January 15, by 5 pm. You can RSVP by filling out the form below.
