[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Minister.  I'm working for Hospice now, but was in a church before we moved.  It's not easy for church leaders right now.  Thankfully, my church was very tolerant and fairly liberal.  LGBTQ friendly, diverse, open to discussions on different faiths, etc.  We spent a lot of time trying to live like the Christ we claimed to follow.  So, while I know we had members who were Republicans and conservative, I really doubt we had anyone in our membership who would support Donald Trump.

That said, ministers avoid politics in the pulpit.  For one, we risk our tax exempt status.  More importantly, ministers in church leadership positions should not be politicians.

I'm not working in a church right now. I can be very active in my local political groups.  And I am.  I've spoken at several marches and Interfaith Prayer Breakfasts.  I think clergy should be pointing out the hypocrisy of Christians turning away refugees.[b]  And frankly, if you support Donald Trump, you may claim to be a Christian, but you are behaving nothing at all like your Christ[/b].[/quote]

Shame on you.

One could say the exact same thing about Hillary and her stances.

The choices this cycle were very difficult for all people of faith. Many Christians voted to protect tehe supreme court. They did the bexst they could with the two terrible choices.[/quote]
 
NP here. No, I'm actually pretty ashamed of you. Please do not pretend that you are Christian.[/quote]
