We light our chalice for the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
What does your congregations do that supports the democratic process?

Right now in the USA our democratic process in the society at large is all about preparing for caucus in Iowa and primaries in other states. What is a caucus? It is a time where each party in each precinct gets together in person to talk about the candidates and the issues and then votes on them. We started with about 24 candidates in the democratic caucus this time and I think we are now down to 14. Our caucus will be held on Feb. 3, 2020 this time and we will be again the first in the nation to vote. For more information about our caucus check out the Wikipedia page. This year will be the first time the democrats have proposed a satellite caucusing plan. There were a few of these in 2016 as test sites.
There has been a lot of news out there about what else is going on politically in the USA, but it is so depressing I think I'll end with this.
Take care.
Blessed be,
Kathy
