Additional Description:
"Religion and Politics: A Guide for Houses of Worship"
This resource helps religious leaders during the campaign season understand:
- The importance of encouraging their members/congregants to vote.
- Why they should never tell members/congregants whom to vote for.
- That a partnership between religion and government can and should preserve the autonomy of houses of worship and ensure that religious institutions are not held hostage to the priorities and interests of federal, state, or local governments.
- That religion's powerful healing force in politics can be severely compromised when America's shared values are replaced by values that advance only particular sectarian interests.
