As Christians we are members of society too. We should participate in the life of society, also through politics and thus let our point of view be heard. This we can do first of all through the way we vote. Even if none of the candidates takes a fully acceptable stance from a Christian viewpoint, voting can make a difference in the way the country is run. What we are looking for is the common good, the good of ‘all of us’.
Some Christians are called to join politics themselves. Christian politicians should at all times intend to act in accordance with their conscience, placing the good of others above that of themselves. There is a great need for such politicians, and they need the support and prayer of all the Christian community to keep their moral high ground.
