Christian Reflection and Prayer

 

Our politicians are not listening to "the least of these"-
the citizens.  As long as people of faith do not take action
to reclaim our democracy from the corrupting influence of
big money, our politicians will continue to subvert the faithful
citizens constitutional citizens constitutional authority to be
represented.

 

     Under the current crony capitalism system, our ability as
people of faith to respond appropriately to the needs of
"the least of these" will continue to be overwhelmed as more
Americans are pushed into poverty through lack of opportunity.
Nor will our nation address climate change. 

 

     The suffrage and civil rights movements would not have
succeeded if not for the the strong participation of faith
congregations and their members.  We must again have a
dream and prayerfully act to make it a reality.
