From Archbishop Desmond Tutu ---
"Politics is an incredible opportunity to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”.We are aware that Christians may not be in agreement with every policy of any of the three major parties, but this should not be a barrier to involvement. A party that truly represented our own personal views would have only one member. In the same way that even though we certainly do not agree on everything with other members of our churches, or with a spouse, we seek to work in partnership with others, building relationship and gaining influence."
"Have you ever sent a campaigning postcard or email? Who did you hope would read it? Someone who cared? Someone with a passion to make change happen?"
"We think you could be that person."
"Don’t just send it. Be sent.
Don’t just post. Participate.
Get involved politically.
Nobody’s perfect.
Stop just shouting from the sidelines.
Can you see politics as mission?
Join us".
"If God’s will is not being done in
politics, we need to ask ‘whose will is?’ "
