SUMMARY:Online Event: Was Jesus a Socialist?
DESCRIPTION:Economist and historian Lawrence W. Reed has been hearing people say “Jesus was a socialist” for fifty years. And it has always bothered him. \nNow he is doing something about it. \nHis new book demolishes the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Jesus called on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? Or centrally plan the economy? Or even impose a welfare state? \nHardly. \nPoint by point\, Reed answers the claims of socialists and progressives who try to enlist Jesus in their causes. As he reveals\, nothing in the New Testament supports their contentions.\nWas Jesus a Socialist? could not be more timely. Socialism has made a shocking comeback in America. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact\, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. \nAnd as socialism has come back into vogue\, more and more of its advocates have tried to convince us that Jesus was a socialist. \nThis rhetoric has had an impact. According to a 2016 poll by the Barna Group\, Americans think socialism aligns better with Jesus’s teachings than capitalism does. When respondents were asked which of that year’s presidential candidates aligned closest to Jesus’s teachings\, a self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” came out on top. Sure enough\, the same candidate earned more primary votes from under-thirty voters than did the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees combined. \nAnd in a 2019 survey\, more than 70 percent of millennials said they were likely to vote for a socialist. \nOnline Event: Was Jesus a Socialist?\nWednesday\, September 16\, 2020\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM MT\nWatch here: https://www.youtube.com/CentennialInstituteCCU \nAbout Lawrence Reed: Lawrence W. Reed is president emeritus of the Foundation of Economic Education (FEE) and the author or editor of several books\, including Excuse Me\, Professor: Challenging the Myths of Progressivism and Real Heroes: Inspiring True Stories of Courage\, Character\, and Conviction (ISI Books). Prior to joining FEE in 2008\, he served for twenty years as president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. He also taught economics full-time for nearly a decade. A frequent guest on radio and television\, Reed has written thousands of articles and delivers dozens of speeches each year. He has received the Alumni Achievement Award from his alma mater\, Grove City College.

SUMMARY:The Sin of Racism and America's Promise of Equality\, Part 2 - Solutions
DESCRIPTION:  \nFollowing an extremely popular and well-received discussion on the sin of racism and America’s promise of equality\, the same panel is back to discuss solutions further. In the weeks since the first discussion\, congress\, states\, and municipalities have introduced legislation to reform policing. What’s right and what’s wrong with this approach? Leftist organizations are seeking to go further in defunding the police\, tearing down statues\, requiring reparations\, and even creating autonomous zones. How does America address the challenges of bad policing and racism without dividing the nation? What are other solutions to improving access to the American dream for black Americans? \nJoin the Centennial Institute\, Antonia Okafor Cover\, CJ Pearson\, Dr. Biff Gore\, and Casper Stockham to explore these issues and more. \nThursday\, June 25\, 2020 \n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm MT

SUMMARY:The Sin of Racism and America's Promise of Equality\, Part 2 - Solutions
DESCRIPTION:  \nFollowing an extremely popular and well-received discussion on the sin of racism and America’s promise of equality\, the same panel is back to discuss solutions further. In the weeks since the first discussion\, congress\, states\, and municipalities have introduced legislation to reform policing. What’s right and what’s wrong with this approach? Leftist organizations are seeking to go further in defunding the police\, tearing down statues\, requiring reparations\, and even creating autonomous zones. How does America address the challenges of bad policing and racism without dividing the nation? What are other solutions to improving access to the American dream for black Americans? \nJoin the Centennial Institute\, Antonia Okafor Cover\, CJ Pearson\, Dr. Biff Gore\, and Casper Stockham to explore these issues and more. \nThursday\, June 25\, 2020 \n2:00 pm – 3:00 pm MT

SUMMARY:The Sin of Racism and America’s Promise of Equality
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Christian University mourns the tragic death and unjust killing of George Floyd. Sadly\, this is not an isolated incident and points to a deeper racism that festers in our land. At the same time\, we also condemn those who seek to exploit the tragedy of this situation by looting\, torching vehicles\, burning buildings\, defacing national monuments and destroying hundreds of businesses. The number of people killed as a result of violent protest represents a disturbing breakdown in the rule of law and cannot be excused as a just response to this incident.\nHow do we seek justice for the black community? How do we improve policing in America? How do we protect our cities and local communities from violent riots? How does America live up to its claims of one Nation under God\, indivisible\, with liberty and justice for all? \nJoin the Centennial Institute and community leaders Antonia Okafor Cover\, CJ Pearson\, Dr. Biff Gore\, and Casper Stockham for a Zoom discussion on these issues. \nThe Sin of Racism and America’s Promise of Equality\nThursday\, June 11\, 2020\n1:00 pm MT \nWatch here: https://www.youtube.com/CentennialInstitute/

SUMMARY:Michael Barone on American Politics 2020
DESCRIPTION:Michael Barone will discuss his latest book\, How America’s Political Parties Change (and How They Don’t). The election of 2016 prompted journalists and political scientists to write obituaries for the Republican Party—or prophecies of a new dominance. But it was all rather familiar. Whenever one of our two great parties has a setback\, we’ve heard: “This is the end of the Democratic Party\,” or\, “The Republican Party is going out of existence.” Yet both survive\, and thrive. \nWe have the oldest and third oldest political parties in the world—the Democratic Party founded in 1832 to reelect Andrew Jackson\, the Republican Party founded in 1854 to oppose slavery in the territories. They are older than almost every American business\, most American colleges\, and many American churches. Both have seemed to face extinction in the past\, and have rebounded to be competitive again. How have they managed it? \nMichael Barone\, longtime co-author of The Almanac of American Politics\, brings a deep understanding of our electoral history to the question and finds a compelling answer. He illuminates how both parties have adapted\, swiftly or haltingly\, to shifting opinion and emerging issues\, to economic change and cultural currents\, to demographic flux. At the same time\, each has maintained a constant character. The Republican Party appeals to “typical Americans” as understood at a given time\, and the Democratic Party represents a coalition of “out-groups.” They are the yin and yang of American political life\, together providing vehicles for expressing most citizens’ views in a nation that has always been culturally\, religiously\, economically\, and ethnically diverse. \nThe election that put Donald Trump in the White House may have appeared to signal a dramatic realignment\, but in fact it involved less change in political allegiances than many before\, and it does not portend doom for either party. How America’s Political Parties Change (and How They Don’t) astutely explains why these two oft-scorned institutions have been so resilient. \nMonday\, April 20\, 2020\n5:00 pm – 6:30 pm MT\nOn YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CentennialInstitute/ \n \nAbout Michael Barone \nMichael Barone is an American conservative political analyst\, historian\, pundit and journalist. He is known for being the principal author of The Almanac of American Politics\, a highly detailed reference work on Congress and state politics; it has been published biennially by National Journal since 1972. The Almanac has been called “definitive and essential for anyone writing seriously about campaigns and Congress.” Barone is also a regular commentator on United States elections and political trends for the Fox News Channel. In April 2009\, Barone joined the Washington Examiner\, leaving his position of 18 years at U.S. News & World Report. He is based at the American Enterprise Institute as a resident fellow. He has written numerous books and essays on American political and demographic history.
