Midterm Results Reshape the Week as Churches Mark an Election and a Loss
The most consequential news came from the ballot box. United Methodist News reports that the Rev. Adam Hamilton won the Kansas Senate race and that Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Georgia governor's race. The outlet calls both victories historic. It says each winner plans to rely on their Christian faith in the new role. The piece does not go further than that, and neither will we.
Christianity Today weighed the same election from a different angle. Its reflection, titled "After the Midterms," says the election is over and the results are clear. The outlet writes that two years ago a certain wave crashed and the future seemed inevitable, and that this morning the tide turned, leaving public life unstable, dramatic, dynamic and contentious once more. The piece notes that Jesus regularly stepped into political life. Read alongside the United Methodist News report, it marks a day when two outlets were weighing the same returns.
