Election Day!

"We are seeing more and more that the church has fallen in love with the state and that this love affair is killing the church's imagination. The powerful benefits and temptations of running the world's largest superpower has bent the church's identity. Having power at its fingertips, the church often finds 'guiding the course of history' a more alluring goal than following the crucified Christ. Too often the patriotic values of pride and strength triumph over the spiritual values of humility, gentleness, and sacrificial love. We in the church are schizophrenic: we want to be good Christians, but deep down we trust that only the power of the state and its militaries and stock markets can really make a difference in the world."
