To do that kind of work, to engage in that kind of holistic mission, will require from time to time doing some public theology. This means that we might be compelled to offer some political commentary, to take a stand in a protest, or to run for public office to effect change. If it is obviously unwise to make politics one’s religion, it is no less foolish to think that the life of faith has nothing to do with our political discourse and its legislative chambers.
