Churches and Politics

In my view churches should teach principles not “take positions on political issues” .

The moment a religious group begins to back a political party, movement, or government, it loses its ability to give guidance and to speak critically (which is sometimes necessary).

When people, political constituents, know “the truth” they will make good political choices. We've got to trust that. The American principle of “separation of church and state” assures those who seek to know and teach the truth that while they don't have to bear the heavy burden of operating the government or have the danger of being a part of it, they can speak freely, negatively or positively, of all the government considers or does.
