Trust in how we practice democracy continues to erode.  We appear to have a system that inspires theoretically yet seems stuck in its implementation.  What if the process of voting, what if elections, the way they have evolved, are a part of the problem rather than a path to a solution?  What if democracy, the ideal of governing that is representative of the people, were better served by a democratic lottery, with a group of people selected randomly to focus their time on deliberating and learning about issues rather than accommodating special interests, financial donors, or partisan strategies?  Come find out about examples of this kind of democracy functioning throughout history.  Come explore ‘democracy without voting’ during the service and in our 2nd Hour sermon dialog.
