“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
Advocating for Justice
MOChristian.org is an ecumenical grassroots Christian movement to bring the Good News of Jesus’ Liberation and Justice for ALL to the Halls of the Missouri Capitol. Through direct communication and advocacy to our elected officials, as well as partnerships with like-minded organizations and individuals, we will work for justice and equity for ALL Missourians.
Reclaiming Christianity
For too long, Christianity has been represented in Jefferson City as fearful, restrictive and punitive, rather than courageous, expansive and celebratory. As followers of the Way of Jesus, we are called to celebrate the full humanity of ALL persons and to make sure that ALL people have the resources that they need to thrive.
Challenging Missouri's Struggles
Sadly, in Missouri, people from all walks of life are struggling to survive and told that that struggling is good enough. Missouri is consistently ranked at or near the bottom among states in public education, gun violence, infrastructure, maternal health outcomes, overall health outcomes, crime and corrections and so much more. We refuse to accept the status quo any longer.

The Diocese of Missouri: Vote Faithfully Academy
The Vote Faithfully Academy was an opportunity to discuss with other faithful Christians how our faith informs our politics, better understand the Episcopal Church's position on often divisive policy issues, and discern with other Christians how Christ calls us to show up in the world.
The Rev. Aaron Rogers led this discussion on Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon.
