Letter: Call for faith leadership

By Barbara Ross, CAMAS
Published: October 14, 2016, 6:00am

This is not middle-age Europe with a mandated faith by government. The number of various religions with their different beliefs and practices provides us with separation of church and state.

It is not a valid excuse for religious leaders to not weigh in on how candidates line up with their beliefs. A shepherd who tells its sheep, “I can’t lead you, you must find your own way,” will lose some of its flock. And probably has no business being a shepherd.

We encourage readers to express their views about public issues. Letters to the editor are subject to editing for brevity and clarity. Limit letters to 200 words (100 words if endorsing or opposing a political candidate or ballot measure) and allow 30 days between submissions. Send Us a Letter
