Description
The American liturgical calendar calls for another holy day of obligation in 2024, and, as always, the urgency of your sacred vote will be solicited round-the-clock given our 24-hour news cycle. Endorsements have already begun, it will only be a matter of time until the unsolicited “Christian voter guides” begin appearing, and between the pundits on television, and the pressures to join in the voices and topics of the elections from the pulpit, pastors had better be prepared. This sectional provides an alternative view for pastors to present to their parishioners to prepare them to faithfully engage our nation in a volatile time with the hope of a distinctly Lutheran outlook.
