COMMENTARY: Preparing for the morning after

Many citizens will be deeply disappointed by the outcome of next week’s elections and will need a healthy way to express their disappointment. In the days to come, we will need a big dose of this love. Too many ugly genies of hatred have been loosed from too many bottles. We Christians must lead the way in restoring sanity.Many citizens will be deeply disappointed by the outcome of next week’s elections and will need a healthy way to express their disappointment.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
