Why I Leave Politics Out of My Preaching

As a single who has also “preached just about every single Sunday of my grownup daily life,” the motive for the absence of advocating a person aspect of the aisle in excess of the other from the pulpit has practically nothing to do with employment but relatively with the goal of worship (“Why Most Pastors Steer clear of Politics,” Critique, May 28). These matters should really be dealt with in a discussion board exactly where there can be dialogue with opposing sights and in-depth discussion fairly than with a pastoral monologue with quips and seem bites, as if one particular speaks ex officio for God concerning politics.

From my Lutheran point of view, the purpose of worship is to preach the Gospel, praise God and administer the sacraments. It would be highly inappropriate and arrogant of me to use that sacred time to espouse my have political agenda. The individuals of God ought to have more than that.

Rev.

Scott J. Suskovic

Charlotte, N.C.

Ordained ministry is not a occupation route or a “strategic calculation.” It is a contacting. We serve the local church but we are appointed to that ministry by a much bigger authority. The rationale so quite a few of us decide on not to engage in politics from the pulpit is for the reason that the information we are called to share is of so substantially larger worth, and is necessary all the far more so because of the divisiveness and hostility of today’s political local climate.

Rev.

Bob Ellson

Mt. Enjoyable, Pa.

As a Presbyterian pastor in the San Francisco Bay Location for 40 yrs, I didn’t prevent addressing political issues since I feared for my position. It was for the reason that I considered what people today necessary most was the really like, grace and hope of the Gospel. As one particular of the users of our congregation stated to me: “I have lots of politics at get the job done. I really do not need them in my church!”

Rev.

James W. Rueb
