ELCA Presiding Bishop: Christians Bring 'Hopeful Spirit' to Political Life
10-279-JB
CHICAGO (ELCA) -- Citing "bitter and divisive commentary" in the
just-concluded political campaign, the presiding bishop of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has called for more
respectful political engagement and "a renewal of common decency in
public speech." Christians view political engagement differently, he
said, bringing a "hopeful spirit" to political life and respecting others
as neighbors.
