In 1960, JFK had to defend his Catholic faith. In 2026, Jain Americans are entering Congress for the first time. Our democracy belongs to people of every faith and none.

Faith never left politics. The 2026 election reminds us that no party owns the religious conversation. But religious conviction is not political authority. My latest essay explores the difference.

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises.

In 1776, the Rev. Samuel West spoke of the importance of just and equal laws.
Nearly 250 years later, his words still challenge us to consider justice, the common good, and our responsibilities to one another.

In 1776, Samuel West preached about justice, equality, and the common good. Nearly 250 years later, those questions remain.
Today I revisit the Election Sermon tradition.
What do we owe one another?

In 1780, the Rev. Simeon Howard reminded Massachusetts that public office is a trust, not a personal possession. Nearly 250 years later, the lesson remains: government exists to serve the people, not those who hold power.
