My Faith and Advocacy

Much of our work is the same as when the League of Women Voters works with leaders on advocacy issues. The uniqueness of our work is our grounding in faith.

Each person needs to develop their own way of communicating faith roots.

Areas to bring to your presentation:

1.  What are three reasons your faith brings you to advocacy?
   
   

2.  What Biblical passages inspire your work?
   
   

3.  Where do you look in church documents for grounding?
   
   

4. How do you answer the people who say that church and state should not mix?
