Many Christians today are struggling with the question of whether, or to what extent, they should get involved in the messy world of American politics. This is a dilemma we feel most acutely whenever election season rolls around—and especially when the choices on offer appear far from ideal. If there are disagreements within your church about the wisdom and efficacy of believers involving themselves in politics, then one source of good counsel is the AND Campaign, an organization devoted to a model of Christian civic education that aims to transcend conventional right-versus-left divisions. A new book, Compassion (&) Conviction: The AND Campaign’s Guide to Faithful Civic Engagement, lays out the core themes of the group’s philosophy.

Not voting silences your voice. If we only allow others to vote as we sit by and watch the results, their voices are being heard while yours is being ignored. Candidates respond to their constituents so it would be better to be found within the king’s court then standing outside pounding on the door.
Lend your voice to the conversation, get out and vote!
