Experiential learning projects have been very interesting this year, and this is not excluding Ian, Karl, and Andrew’s project. Ian Krueger, a junior, and Andrew Thomas, a senior, explain what their project is about. They plan to look into politics from a Christian perspective, and to show how Christians should be approaching them. Ian says, “Basically, it is about the difference between the GOP and the DFL, which one is is best for America, and which is more Christian.” They have planned to interview politicians and other authority figures such as pastors, which they hope will help them understand what it means to be in politics and how to to look at it from a Christian perspective. They hope to bring knowledge to themselves by sharing the information with the students. Andrew says, “I hope that students will learn how to approach politics without feeling hindered by religion or having to ditch religion by the door.” Karl says, “Our goal is to provide. . .the parties stances. . .ideological differences. . .and motivate our generation to take an interest and have a concern for how they are governed.” Overall they want to understand more about politics and how we Christians can take a stance involving them.
