Respect
Our Faith is a growing grassroots campaign of clergy and religious
lay people who want to protect houses of worship from partisan
politics. The campaign is organized by the Texas
Faith Network. A project of the Texas Freedom Network Education
Fund, the Texas Faith Network is made up of mainstream religious
leaders who share a faith that produces a politics of community
and compassion.
This campaign establishes and promotes ethical standards to guide both religious
leaders’ involvement in electoral politics and political leaders’ involvement
with religious communities. This goal is accomplished through a pledge for religious
leaders and a pledge for religious laypeople who share the belief that partisan
politics should stop at the church door.
The
Respect Our Faith campaign will also serve to educate the public
at large through the media, speaking engagements and community
outreach about the positive and respectful ways religious organizations
can participate in the political process. In addition, the campaign
will serve as a public watchdog, shining a light on politicians
or congregations that cross the line between religious congregation
and political party. |
