Charity is a matter of personal attributes; justice is a matter of public policy. Charity seeks to alleviate the effects of injustice; justice seeks to eliminate its causes. Charity in no way affects the status quo, while justice leads inevitably to political confrontation.

Take Action

Being a strong, effective citizen doesn’t have to be a full-time job—it just takes a commitment to regular practice.

Why is it so important for people of faith to be strong and active citizens?

God calls us to live in community with others—for anyone blessed to live in a free democratic state, being in community includes helping to make the important decisions that affect everyone.

God calls us to care for “the least of these"—that includes making sure public resources are divided fairly and that disadvantaged people don’t get the short end of the stick.

God calls us to be good stewards of all God has given us—it’s up to today’s Texans to make good decisions about our natural and human resources so that future generations can thrive.
