“It is a Christian obligation to vote, and more than that, it is the church’s responsibility to help get souls to the polls.”
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
Participating in our country’s political life isn’t just about casting our own vote – it requires working together so we can all vote and vote faithfully. There are many ways to get involved – from participating ourselves to supporting others in our congregations and communities. We can all play a role in getting “souls to the polls!”
As a non-profit organization, the Diocese of Missouri does not endorse specific candidates, but we do encourage everyone to make informed choices to vote the values of human dignity and equality.
