Write a 200 words on two different ways that a Christian can become involved in politics.

For example, you may choose a specific organization that is politically active. List the goals of that organization. Explain what it does to carry on its agenda and reach its goals. Describe the opportunities available to the Christian for service. Are there opportunities to speak? Would one be required to do any writing or phone calling? Is there room for advancement? Give details that would help a reader understand the areas of work available to him or her.

The relation between religion and politics continues to be an important theme in political philosophy, despite the emergent consensus (both among political theorists and in practical political contexts, such as the United Nations) on the right to freedom of conscience and on the need for some sort of separation between church and state. One reason for the importance of this topic is that religions often make strong claims on people’s allegiance, and universal religions make these claims on all people, rather than just a particular community. For example, Islam has traditionally held that all people owe obedience to Allah’s will. Thus, it is probably inevitable that religious commitments will sometimes come into conflict with the demands of politics. But religious beliefs and practices also potentially support politics in many ways. The extent and form of this support is as important to political philosophers as is the possibility for conflict. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in minority groups and the political rights and entitlements they are due. One result of this interest is substantial attention given to the particular concerns and needs of minority groups who are distinguished by their religion, as opposed to ethnicity, gender, or wealth.
