Ways to Live Your Faith:
Have you thought about writing a letter to the editors of local papers? A short expression of your concerns from a faith perspective could be influential in two ways: published letters reach a wide audience and show a much wider spectrum of popular opinion than is sometimes covered. Secondly, even if not published, when a number of letters come in with similar concerns it informs editors that this is a matter of interest and should be covered. Requirements vary, but almost all Kentucky papers allow you to submit letters online and all have 200-300 word limitations. Be brief, be respectful, be forceful and clear.
“As a person of faith I am sad and disgusted at the way self-described ‘Christian’ legislators are enacting very UN-Christian laws, harming the very ones Jesus taught us to tend….” might be a good start!
