When Bishops take to the public square to make the case for faith

In the past couple of years, the American Church has seen the rise of more than a few Bishops who have entered into the debates of the day in the public square. While they have been subjected to numerous attacks by those who oppose the role of faith in these debates, their presence has served to strengthen and embolden the resolve of believers.

Below is a link to one example: Archbishop Carlson (St. Louis) has taken an active role in the marriage debate, to the point of putting his money on the line in support of efforts to protect the traditional definition of marriage.

While Canada has not had as many episcopal voices enter the debate, (God knows we need more!) let all of us commit to supporting and strengthening those who have entered the fray.
