Looks like this will be an interesting and timely series. It is free, but registration is required.

With 18 months of unprecedented media coverage, a barrage of TV advertisements, and a couple of surprise decisions…the upcoming Presidential election has been the most talked about Presidential process in American History. Yet, as questions emerge about the policies of the candidates, the conversation dwindles concerning Christians’ role in politics. Annually, the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute brings together noted Christian thinkers and speakers to discuss critical issues facing the Church and society.

The theme for the fall 2008 Francis A. Schaeffer Lectures Series, to be held October 3-4, is Taking Citizenship Seriously. The keynote speaker for the event will be Dr. Jim Skillen, president of The Center for Public Justice in Annapolis, Maryland. Other noteworthy speakers include John Hancock, president of John Hancock & Associates in Chesterfield, Missouri, Rep. Cynthia Davis, Missouri State Representative, 19th District, and Dr. Anthony Bradley, assistant professor of apologetics and systematic theology at Covenant Seminary.
