Beyond the Booth: Voting as a Testament to Justice and Equality

The ELCA Advocacy blog post by William Milner and Alex Parker explores the profound significance of election engagement from a faith-based perspective. Highlighting the enthusiasm for the democratic process and the sacred calling to steward democracy, the authors encourage active civic participation as an act of service to neighbors and a commitment to justice.

They reflect on the ELCA's stance on civic engagement as a baptismal vocation and support for legislation that ensures equal rights and voting access for all, invoking the spirit of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other pivotal civil rights legislation.
