Do Faith & Politics Mix?
On a recent visit with the United Church of Christ Public Policy & Advocacy team in Washington, D.C., I shared a few spontaneous thoughts on the frequent question of whether faith and politics mix. Building a just and peaceful world for all requires our action and our advocacy to create policies and systems that support the kind of world God envisions.
