How do Christians follow Jesus' command to love our neighbor in the political realm? How can the local church help form members for responsible Christian citizenship? Perhaps now more than ever, many Christians are recognizing the need to engage in advocacy work. If you feel called to lead your church or faith-based nonprofit toward the mission of advocacy, but don't know where or how to begin, this toolkit is for you. Based on a partnership between the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, this toolkit offers concrete examples and tips from veteran advocates for leading a church or nonprofit to deeper engagement in advocacy and public witness.
