Despite the tempestuous ramblings, mudslinging, and doomsday forecasting, irregardless of which U.S. candidate wins the presidency, the Church is still the Church. It is alive in this world and at work. It works inside the world  like yeast or like salt. It is not political. It is not government. It is a community of disciples.  It is the love manifested first in Christ,  reaching out, loving others, worshiping God and serving. Bringing his kingdom to earth, one person, one neighborhood, one village at a time. Praise God.
