Christians must look past left and right (Eternity)

It’s not that I think there should be only one unified Christian voice in the public square. The problem is that our voices are getting so tediously predictable. I’m on the Left, so I pick the bits of the Bible that make Jesus sound like pre-selection candidate for an inner-city Greens seat. I’m on the Right, so I cycle through my playlist of social conservatism’s greatest hits: sex, bioethics and religious freedom. All important issues. But is the Christian’s calling really to sit on the sidelines waving weird spiritual banners for our favourite team?
