A better story
Politics is about living well together in society. Since God has made us for community, he has called us into politics, whether voting, campaigning, or standing for election. Knowing that Jesus is Lord, we want those in politics to reflect his character and pursue policies that please him.
But how we do politics is just as important as what we do. We want to reflect Jesus’ command to ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Matthew 22:39), including towards those we disagree with.

The unavoidable truth is that each candidate and party possesses weaknesses and is prone to sinful temptations and idolatrous trajectories. No candidate or party has a monopoly on justice. Only Jesus’s kingdom — an eternal kingdom that “is not of this world” — is ultimately worthy of our trust.
