Erik Stanley: The history of politics from the pulpit

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney Erik Stanley writing at Speak Up Movement / Church: "Over at Dakota Voice, Bob Ellis has an interesting post that details the history of politics from the pulpit in America. Bob does a good job of detailing many of the stories where pastors in American history spoke forcefully and with great conviction from their pulpits about political matters . . . History is replete with examples of churches and pastors speaking freely from their pulpits about the great social and moral issues of our day ? including the selection of our national leaders. That all stopped with the passage of the Johnson Amendment through clearly illegitimate means. It is time to turn back the page of history to restore the constitutional rights of pastors and churches as active participants in our culture."
