Why would Republican Christians ever think they cannot take part in government?My point is that Christians should not excuse themselves from taking part in our government.
Iām voting for a Baptist with the greatest pride and joy of my life. Her religion is welcome in the Oval Office.
What Kamala Harris has said about her faith
Harris grew up visiting both Christian churches and Hindu temples.
Kamala Harris is Baptist
Throughout her political career, Harris has also drawn strength and inspiration from the Baptist tradition, which is one of the many Christian denominations that comprise Protestant Christianity.She was introduced to the Baptist Church by her father, Donald Harris, and still identifies as a Baptist today, as the Deseret News previously reported.
In her memoir, Harris cited her early experiences in Christian churches to explain some of her work in politics.
My āearliest memories of the teachings of the Bible were of a loving God, a God who asked us to āspeak up for those who cannot speak for themselvesā and to ādefend the rights of the poor and needy,āā she wrote, per Sojourners.
Harrisā home church is Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, which is led by the Rev. Amos C. Brown.
The Rev. Brown took a class from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a college student and was active in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
He remains known as a civil rights activist, as well as for building bridges with leaders from other faith groups, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Itās fair to say that the majority of the people in this photo are religious and Christian.
