Christians and churches should be able to have political discussions and plead their case as a whole in our country too. I went to 2 large Iraq anti war marches and people asked why no churches were there visibly. Why? Because the government effectively silenced them because of taxes. Making overt politics a no no affecting tax status but it’s spread to other no nos as well. That should be no excuse to not step up, however IMHO. Politics has gotten us almost solely into this TOTAL disaster. But not talking about it has infected every level down to local Bible studies of most mainstream churches. The current situation has destroyed any reasonable talk. Why I don’t attend one since 2020.
Noticed. Disgusting reality. I guess they hide behind NGO status. But change often happens on the ground in the corners where good people can exchange thoughts on what they see and want to make a difference. These ngos are corrupt and often simply money launderers. I don’t give to any of those, including the Red Cross. The bending to politics during Covid drove me out. I believe in a congregational togetherness to further love and grace. It doesn’t even have to be a church or Christian if it does because love is an action. Grace is an action. Forgiveness is an action. Best, Janet

Funny how most ngos helping the illegal invasion are churches!

The tax exemption thing turned many pastors and flocks into cowards and slaves.
The understanding of the critical role of pastors and churches in politics was well understood at our founding and has been almost lost.

So true.
