But to say to the pulpit you have no place in politics is to so twist the truth as to distort it. No clergy or church leader should try to lead their congregation into political activity that links the church with a party or governing. Nor should churches covet the protection and privileges of the state. So essential is the need to call upon the privileged and powerful to think again about their actions that it must never be compromised by collusion or involvement in the state's action. Pulpit aside, talk is only part of the issue.
Action arising out of faith and conviction is far more potent and world changing.
It is the linking of our arms with the poor and the weak that marks the directions of a healthy faith community and congregation. This part of the journey is never easy. This part separates faith from non-faith, for faith is walking the walk of God's grace. One of our dreams has been to support Solo House as a congregation and, we are on our way. But two things need never to be forgotten.
