Sunday Reflection: After Tuesday
On Tuesday, one candidate will win and one will lose. There will be spiritual crises for some on the losing side. The race has been so tied up with identity that it will be hard not to feel that identity challenged-- and, if we are honest, because our principles and identity are tied up with our faith, it could challenge that as well. After all, if principle so clearly shows one candidate should win, who are we when they don''t?
And that is when religion will have to be more than politics.
Hopefully, as with any moment of crisis, faith can help us transcend hardship and understand those things that are hard to understand. After all, the entire faith grew up under a hostile regime, something that the Bible describes often. (And yes, I realize that many Christians don't see Trump as hostile to faith, but that will have to be another post).
