The Matthew 25 Network is a growing community of Christians who insist on a new kind of Christian engagement in our nation’s political process. The core of our political passion rises from Matthew 25:40, in which Jesus tells His followers, “I tell you the truth, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Out of this political passion, the Matthew 25 Network advocates for the public policies that stand for the least of these and to support the political leaders who will champion these policies.

The Matthew 25 Network is committed to thoughtful dialogue and purposeful action. We reflect seriously on the words of Jesus and the implications of His teachings on our role as citizens in a diverse democracy. Matthew25.org will serve as a new voice for Christian thinkers—including pastors, theologians, seminarians, and other contributors— to explore how theological principles could inform public policy positions. As a forum of thinkers, we encourage lively debate. Our connecting common thread is our belief that we must engage the political process as citizens in support of public policy that supports the common good and justice for the least of these.

The Matthew 25 Network actively pursues an assertive engagement with our nation’s political process. In line with this fundamental mission, the Matthew 25 Network will take stands on major policy debates and track progress on legislative priorities. We seek out political leaders who also take stands for the “least of these” to endorse and will rally resources to get these leaders elected. We are proud that our first political endorsement was for Barack Obama for President.

The Matthew 25 Network is sensitive to the fact that Christianity has at times been used in our nation’s politics as a weapon of division and fear. However, our Christianity is one of hope, compassion, and accepting community. While we use Christian language to communicate within our community and while we unabashedly affirm that our political convictions are informed by our Christian beliefs, we reject all theocratic tendencies and accept the Constitutional divide between Church and State.
