Why should young Christians be involved in politics?
Because it's mission. Because it's discipleship. Because having a heart for justice can mean tackling the causes as well as the symptoms. Because you are called to do it. Because there are inspiring stories out there of it already starting to happen.
These are some of the reasons that CSM Director Andy Flannagan gave to youth leaders assembled at the Youthwork Summit regarding why young Christians need to get more involved in politics.
