Moratorium on politics

MORATORIUM ON POLITICS: John D. Roth, professor of history at Goshen College in Indiana, has observed that the usually peace-loving Mennonites are as divided politically as the rest of the nation. So he's calling on Mennonites to take a five-year break from partisan politics and to instead engage in spiritual disciplines that might inform future political activity.

He wants a Christ-centered politics that directly engages the hungry, the homeless and the dispossessed, and he'd like to see Mennonites work at sustaining the marriages around them (South Bend Tribune, June 2; www.goshen.edu/news).
