(Christianity Today) Raphael Warnock has won one of Georgia’s two runoff elections for US Senate: Will he be both a pastor and a politician?
Yes, says, Michael Brewer, a spokesman for the minister’s campaign, “if elected he will remain senior pastor.”
Marla Frederick, professor of religion and culture at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, told Religion News Service that an active pastor would not be unknown in the political life on Capitol Hill. “There are models for doing both/and,” she said.
