Don't value the same issues in the same way. It is very intentionally not discussed from the pulpit, mostly because it would cause problems with unity since it is not a basis for unity. It is a basis for division.
For clarification, when I speak of politics I'm not speaking of Republicans or Democrats. I'm speaking of polarization into taking sides. Suanne has brought out in her posts in Mansfield, OH she didn't want to take sides. She wanted to take Christ, but it was impressed a side needed to be taken. That is what I call being political.
