Why Is Advocacy Important?

Why Is Advocacy Important?

As a church, we encourage one another to see that our engagement in politics is informed by the values we share as Christians. By letting our lawmakers know how Lutheran ministries help our world and urging them to advance legislation that reflects these commitments, we are creating opportunities to overcome poverty, promote peace and justice and protect God’s creation.
