Discipleship in a democracy

---

The divisive political climate in our nation can cause tensions in our congregations. Republicans, Democrats and independents gather under the same roof for Sunday worship, but they may bring very different understandings of our nation’s problems and how to tackle them. It’s a balancing act to be faithful followers of Jesus, civically engaged citizens, and folks who love their neighbors as themselves. But our Christian faith and our Lutheran tradition give us some tools to manage it.
