182. My task in the pulpit is to expound scripture, not to give my personal opinions. |

If I find a text that I believe compels me to take a partisan position, which I can't quite imagine, I'm free to do so. My congregation won't be happy about losing its tax exempt status, but I am free to take that risk.
I take social stands ALL the time. But I do not endorse candidates or parties from the pulpit. In my private life, I'm a very active member of the Dem party. In the pulpit, I'm neutral as to party and individual candidates. It's really not that constraining.
