Christian Voter's Guide

Sojourners (a Christian social justice organization) has just put out a guide to Christian voter's issues. I haven't read it through in great detail as of yet, but it looks quite informative and well thought out. This isn't what you might typically think when you think of Christian values (as in the Christian right), but seems (to me) to be well aligned with biblical principles.

Sojourners has identified seven main issues and in the guide breaks down some of what can be included in each. The seven issues are:

  1. Compassion and economic justice
  2. Peace and restraint of violence
  3. A consistent ethic of life
  4. Racial justice
  5. Human rights, dignity, and gender justice
  6. Strengthened families and renewed culture
  7. Good stewardship of God's creation
To get the guide, you can go to this website.
