Church as Civic Political Foundation

Start political conversations among Christians explicitly from ecclesiology: treat the church’s self‑understanding (covenant people under Christ) as the primary lens for judging public policy and political allegiance rather than deriving politics from national or secular frameworks. This reorients political claims from state sovereignty or interest bargaining to questions of covenant fidelity, sacramental life, and ecclesial witness. — If adopted more widely, this framing would change how Christian voters and institutions evaluate candidates, lobby on moral issues, and form transnational Christian political movements—shaping debates about church–state boundaries, nationalism, and policy priorities.
