Finding Faith: After the election, choose connection over division
The writer says thousands at community events showed people can disagree politically without losing their sense of shared humanity.
This week, MOORHEAD held elections for local and congressional representatives, with some citizens ecstatic and others disappointed as the political divide persists.
In the week leading up to this election, the author attended multiple public events including a mission fundraiser and football game, surrounded by thousands enjoying community.
But, at these events, the author heard no heated debates about the upcoming election; instead, the collective Body yearned to connect as fellow human beings.
The author urges followers of Jesus and the Greatest Commandment to choose healing divisions over perpetuating the agonizing political divide that has marked the past decade.
Offering a simple litmus test, the author asks: 'Will this matter in four years?' as a reminder not to let political disagreements dehumanize those we love.
