Life is not about things. Life is relationships. Foremost of those relationships is the one we hold with Jesus Christ.
Christians should seek to apply their spiritual and moral values to the political process rather than politicize the church.
Church decisions should be made as openly as possible, giving opportunities for all to contribute. It is important for all views to be heard and taken seriously, especially where Christians disagree.
