Impacts of the government shutdown in CT, plus a look at the future of Christianity in America
Update: 2025-10-07
Description
We’re in another government shutdown.
The federal government shut down at the start of October following a standoff between Senate Republicans and Democrats.
Now, the Trump administration is proposing more federal worker layoffs, calling it an “unfortunate consequence to a government shutdown.”
Today, we hear how the government shutdown could impact local government services, programs and workers in Connecticut.
Later, Christianity in America is at a crossroads. We hear from two Connecticut church leaders on how the current political climate is influencing faith communities locally, and across the U.S.
