Evangelism without social work is deficient; social work without evangelism is impotent.

A strong case can be made for religious leaders to speak out on political issues.

When religious leaders get involved in elections, it is usually with a reactionary social agenda.

As the political leaders of Europe meet to save the euro and European Union, so should religious leaders.
