About: “Healing a Flawed Electoral System: Christian Responsibility and Lessons from 2012” is a 17+ minute video features the Rev. J. Herbert Nelson, Director of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Office of Public Witness in Washington, DC. Rev. Nelson grounds strong calls for campaign finance reform and restored voting rights in his conviction that God’s love seeks the empowerment of all citizens to strengthen the common good. He focuses on the values faith brings to the electoral process and the need to protect the human dimensions of voting against powers that suppress or limit the franchise. This is a spirituality of democracy that affirms the independence of both church and state, AND the responsibility of Christians for justice in the public sphere.
