A recent court decision now allows religious bodies to endorse political candidates and take part in partisan politics without the threat of losing their tax-exempt status.

This ruling does not change meeting’s long-standing practice of eschewing partisan politics within meetings for worship, during announcements at rise of meeting, or through our committees. Our tax-exempt status has never been a primary motive.

Rather, our political advocacy arises from a deep concern for the general welfare and our hope for a world where everyone enjoys security and opportunities for joy.

Partisan politics requires taking sides. Our advocacy is based on our testimonies and advices. Love one another is our foundation.
