Love thy neighbor. No exceptions. That is Faithful America’s motto, and that is the work that Faithful America members like me give ourselves to both online and in our communities. Our faith informs our politics – not the other way around. We oppose Donald Trump, Christian nationalism, and the religious right because of the ways they attack love and social justice. To us, loving our neighbor means caring for the most vulnerable around us, looking out for those who have been marginalized by unjust leaders and systems. To learn more about Faithful America and how you can organize to love your neighbors with other social-justice Christians, visit Faithful America.
...amen, sister!
ReplyDeleteOne doesn’t have to be a Christian to espouse this belief. If we all practiced it in our daily lives there would be no need to organize with others. But since hominids have been killing and maiming each other, and stealing each other’s land, since they first walked the grasslands of Africa, it is unlikely to change any time soon.

ReplyDeleteI see this as a key role of government and society.
