Sunday Reflection: Faith and Politics
So....
-- A Divinity School student won a race for the US Senate in Texas
-- A Methodist Minister won the race for US Senate in Kansas
-- Ministers were elected to the US House in Iowa (x2) and North Carolina (x2)
And that is just in this past election! It's fascinating that no one seems concerned that their faith will dictate their decisions-- and that's a good thing. Because of course their faith will influence the way they do their jobs; that is the nature of faith. It was always a game of make-believe that people maintain separate spheres for their faith and their work (at least if that faith is meaningful). That pretending seems to have evaporated.
It would be to everyone's benefit if the basis of a candidates principles were made clear, across the board-- it would make for a much more honest government!
