Keith Downey brings a unique background to this study and as the founder and Director of the Big Sky Center for Biblical Citizenship, an organization dedicated to promoting biblical citizenship and helping people faithfully participate. Keith was part of planting a church on the campus of the University of Wisconsin. He was a businessman and a management consultant for state and local government operations. And in his time in politics in Minnesota, Keith was a state legislator, state party chairman, and candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. These very practical experiences shape the study and the Big Sky Center's purpose and ideas for faithfully and successfully engaging in the public square.
