If
we have not been getting the reactions we want from
public officials, perhaps it is because our actions
are not the proper ones to produce such reactions.
When
we say we want you to take "action" with the
Christian Constitutional Society, we don't mean
that we want you to call, write, or e-mail your
congressman. It may mean that we want you to
help replace your Congressman, or if you are
blessed with a good one, help re-elect them. Good
public officials don't have to be badgered into doing the right
thing.
The
letters, e-mails and phone calls that we want you to make
are to your friends and fellow church members. We
want you to invite them to your home for "idea
parties", or gatherings This is where we endeavor to
cut through the haze of pop-culture silliness and make our
society more like the one in which early Christianity
spread- one focused on a search for truth. In
our case, truth about God's standards for civil government.
The
classical Greeks and early Romans spent many hours
debating and refining the great ideas of the
day. This culture of thoughtful reflection provided
an environment where the best, not just the loudest, ideas
could win. Our Founders also incubated in such a
culture. If you agree to hold a
gathering of friends in your home, we can provide online audio
or video content to
stimulate the mind and encourage the heart.
Gatherings
can be done in a number of ways, including various methods which
permit live interaction with the Society Members who
authored the content you choose to discuss.
Gatherings
are not exclusively for purposes of education, though that
is the first and foundational activity of the sevenfold activities
from our
charter. Gatherings can be used to facilitate each
of the activities from our charter, which are the heart of
the "action" in our action center.

Why
not go ahead and sift through our online
offerings today? If something strikes you as worthy of
discussion, have a little gathering of your own. If
you are not yet ready to make the commitment to organize a
gathering, at least consider examining our forum
articles
and online resources.
Then make your friends aware of what
you think are the more thought-provoking offerings from
among them.
