TO EDUCATE AND ORGANIZE CHRISTIANS FOR CIVIC AND CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT THAT RESULTS IN BETTER REPRESENTATION, MORE JUST AND COMPASSIONATE POLICIES AND A HEALTHIER POLITICAL CULTURE.

OVERVIEW

The church is called to unite people toward moral order and social justice. Instead of fulfilling that mandate, Christians have taken the tribalism of the world and brought it into the church resulting in division, partisanship, self-interest and a distorted public witness fueled by divisive media coverage. 

The AND Campaign provides a Biblical framework to engage politics with non-partisan, common-sense education on issues that divide; Equipping believers through leadership development, coalition building, and advocacy tools; inspiring Christians to get engaged and confront tribalism and contempt on all sides of the ideological spectrum.

Christians crossing cultural and political divides to form a united public witness that reflects the love and truth of Christ. A respectful, civil community where Christians lead on local, regional and national issues that result in human flourishing and glorify God.

WHAT IS REDEMPTIVE JUSTICE?

Redemptive Justice is justice which has its ends in reconciliation, peace, and flourishing for all parties. The “redemption” is not the spiritual redemption which only Christ could achieve on the Cross, but it does take Christ’s sacrifice as its model of self-giving love of neighbor. This understanding of justice differs from the view which says that justice is the overthrowing of all powers or the leveling of all positions. Rather, it acknowledges that power can be used for good or evil. Just as the Roman authorities used their powers to crucify Christ, but Christ used His power to heal, teach, and lead. Redemptive Justice challenges corrupt use of power and calls all people to use the power God has given them stewardship over for good.

WHAT ARE CLASSIC VALUES?

Classic Values are timeless moral codes and beliefs transferred through religious teaching, family, culture and community that have proven to be irreplaceable.

Amidst the multitude of issues impacting the Church, the arts and the political landscape, God led a Pastor, an Artist, and a Lawyer to gather a coalition of biblical Christians to engage in their context. In doing so, the AND Campaign has united with faith leaders and influencers around the country that reflect biblical values and God’s heart for social justice.
