Why do Christian Advocacy?

Christian advocacy to government accepts the biblical mandate to "be ambassadors for Christ (II Cor. 5:20), calling the nations (and all persons and institutions) to move toward justice, peace, and compassion for all people. In so doing, we seek the welfare of the city to which God has sent us. (Jer. 29:7)"

"One cannot level one's moral lance at every evil in the universe. There are just too many of them. But you can do something, and the difference between doing something and doing nothing is everything." - Daniel Berrigan

"If you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor." - South African Archbishop Desmund Tutu.
