This is the year that we Take Back Christianity before it is too late.

Progressive Christianity is more important than ever before. The Religious Right has organized so successfully that they have managed to control the narrative of what it means to be a Christian and wield political power that has enshrined their own twisted interpretation of scripture in repressive legislation. Enough!

[link removed] Back Christianity is a nonpartisan GOTV (get out the vote) effort that invites Christians across divides to explore 8 key election issues through a Christian values lens.
* Climate change
* Immigration
* Race
* Reproductive health
* Christian Nationalism
* Economy
* Guns
* LGBT rights

By doing this, we are shifting the narrative on how we more authentically follow Jesus' teachings of radical inclusion, justice for the oppressed, and affirmation of all God's children.

These easy-to-access resources ([link removed]) help individuals have difficult conversations and assist voters with guidance and insight to get past the rhetoric and vote with clarity.

In the weeks leading up to the election, we encourage you to use the nonpartisan resources at TakeBackChristianity.org ([link removed]) to facilitate important conversations, especially within faith communities.

If you’re a pastor, consider a sermon series about important election issues. We have Sermon Starters ([link removed]) on all of the key issues inspired by folks like Shane Claiborne, Jacqui Lewis, Brian McLaren, Jim Wallis, and many others, including our ProgressiveChristianity.org board.

If you’re a Sunday school teacher or a church leader, focus your class on the Facts vs. Myths ([link removed]) of Christian teachings around a few of the most important issues.

We cannot do this work alone. We need you! We need you to discuss these issues with your friends, families, and faith communities, showing how Jesus' teachings can inform your vote.
Please be sure to share TakeBackChristianity.org widely
to offer greater clarity to still-undecided voters.
