Why so downcast, Oh my Soul. Put your hope in politics.

It may be a token article, but it is a good one: Children of Lesser Hope. Here’s a snippet:
Recently I was brought up short by reading about an Ohio pastor who was hoofing it through his neighborhood getting the work of the church done. No, he wasn’t visiting the sick, preaching the gospel, or inviting people to church. He was registering voters. Call me old-fashioned, but somehow that doesn’t seem quite right to me. I’m glad it’s not how my own pastor invests his time.
