The Decentering Whiteness Task Force discussed something a bit outside of our normal remit: We thought it might be a helpful reminder to our churches to provide them guidance on church and clergy participation in politics in an election year.

In an election year, it is vital for United Church of Christ (UCC) congregations and clergy to understand how they can engage in the political process while adhering to legal restrictions. The UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries have outlined clear guidelines to help navigate this complex landscape, ensuring that faith-inspired political activities remain within legal boundaries.
