A Call for Moral Clarity in Politics

The author questions how politics can cross into clear moral wrongs. He recalls childhood friends who were Jewish, whose families survived the Holocaust. These memories made him think about how some churches once sided with Nazis. Now he looks at current events. He says that the Trump administration has turned ICE into a force that scares dissenters. He asks where church leaders stand when people are threatened with violence and law is ignored.The writer points out that the government no longer follows international rules, claiming power over all decisions. He compares this attitude to a dangerous philosophy that says “do as you wish. ” The author also criticizes how the administration changes justice for personal gain. He wonders when Christian leaders, especially Evangelicals, will speak up. The piece urges faith communities to act with moral courage and not stay silent when wrongs happen.
