Just like with education then we believe that the church and politics should be seperated. The church will strive to stay away from political discussion but we recommend that our people take part in the discussion and help shape the society they live in.
So far we've established that the Church of Integrity wants to keep some distance between the religion on the one hand and education and politics on the other hand. Of course life isn't that simple. We preach for a certain way of living. One of the foundations of our world view is science. Of course if let's say other religions would attack science in our public schools then the Church of Integrity might be forced to either create our own schools and/or fight for science in the public schools. Similarly if other religions try to take over in politics and lets say ban our religion then we might have to get involved in politics.
The idea is though that the church as an institution distances itself from those matters. Whatever happens then the church will always preach peace and the Church of Integrity will never fight with violence.

Thanks for the comment Billy.
Yes, when religion and politics get to intertwined then we believe the results will not be pretty. There is a reason that most democratic countries have set up some barriers between religion and the running of the country.
