Church Voices

My last post (and I admit its an easy mistake to make with my final sentence) has some people confused about what I’m advocating. I’ve received feedback, most publicly from Heath, about the failures of the Democratic party. Some were even handed (like Heath’s) some were not.

Let me say first, that I was not advocating a vote for either party, or any candidate. I believe the Democratic party has disastrously failed to reduce poverty, and in some cases has made it much worse.

But that only illustrates my real point, which is that Christians and churches shouldn’t see political systems as the answer to anything. Both parties which claim to be strong in areas that are of interest to Christians have failed utterly to achieve much of anything.

The answer doesn’t lie with our ability to force people to act in a certain way, it lies with churches acting like the church in a million little communities across the world.
