The Good News of Church Politics

From community service to advocacy, congregations can practice politics in ways that affirm our loving interdependence within the body of Christ. Church leaders, whether lay or clerical, will find The Good News of Church Politics an uplifting guide to modeling God’s reign in our world by loving our neighbors.

Ross Kane offers a new way of looking at politics, as another form of human interdependence through which we can prayerfully and intentionally live out the Way of Love and make a difference in our world. This is an important work of reimagining that is needed in this deeply divided age.
Ross Kane rightly speaks about how politics should be good news for the church. This helpful, concise book redeems the language and practice of politics in the life of the church.
In this remarkable new book, Ross Kane writes with a pastor’s heart and a theologian’s imagination about how the church and politics (local and national) go together — indeed how they must go together for the church to be faithful to its calling.
If you think faith is useless for thinking about earth, this book will stir you into seeing how each of your political commitments are first theological ones. Politics is often portrayed as a tussle between heart and head. This book will persuade you that it’s about body and soul.”
