Exploring C.S. Lewis’s 1941 article “Meditation on the Third Commandment” warning Christians of the dangers of labeling any political party as a “Christian” party. This article led us to reflect on the risks and rewards of how Christians can mix their faith and politics. It's rewarding when our faith shapes our politics, but the risk comes when it happens the other way around. We also found some possible applications to the post-Covid world about whether news channels can be Christian, and how we thought recent protests in Canada were a good illustration of confusing spiritual and political ideas, letting our politics shape and drive our faith.
