A timely reminder for clergy and laymen about the instruction of our Church concerning political activity.

April 24/May 7, 1993

Be it resolved:

  1. To publish in the church press a declaration that our Church does not ally itself with any political movement or social organization whatsoever, but receives into its bosom all those who seek salvation, regardless of their political views.
  2. That our Church also condemns any demonstration of hatred towards people based either on their ethnic heritage, their political views, or their religious convictions.
