One God, Two Kingdoms,
One Republic, 300 Million Sovereigns

Dr. Siemon-Netto will apply the Lutheran doctrine of the Two Kingdoms to this election year in America. He will discuss our dual citizenship in two separate realms, the temporal and the spiritual and the duty of the Christian to his country. He will outline the boundaries between these two kingdoms. He will answer questions such as: What advice, if any, can the church give to voters without violating these boundaries? How do the church and the state serve each other while remaining separate?
