"A Christian Patriot" by A. James Armstrong
A Christian patriot
will have compassion for the poor and hungry, for those who live in squalor, for the weak and powerless
will support legislation and public policy that will promote the general welfare
will actively participate in those programs and processes that lead to positive social change
will seek to secure for others the opportunities and freedoms we covet for ourselves
will oppose racism and bigotry in every form
will celebrate the inevitable differences that assert themselves amongst a free people, nd will seek to reconcile conflicts that are destructive
will be committed to nonviolent solutions to human problems while trying to understand angy and violent reactions to unjust human conditions
will be 'peacemakers', committed to global justice
will be open, honest, and penitent in the presence of national arrogance & sinfulness
will bind individual conscience to Christian values and the word of God
will seek first God's kingdom, knowing that in so doing the interests of one's country are best served
