RELIGIOUS PATROIT

Many thanks to the Rev. Susan Russell for reminding me of one of Ed Bacon's (Rector, All Saints Church, Pasadena) best quotes: "Faith in action is called politics. Spirituality without action is fruitless and social action without spirituality is heartless. We are boldly political without being partisan. Having a partisan-free place to stand liberates the religious patriot to see clearly, speak courageously, and act daringly."

There is an excellent guide for the upcoming elections produced by Church of the Holy Trinity in New York City. You can find the guide -- Setting the 2008 National Agenda: From a Christian Perspective -- at HERE .
