Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
 
For each of us, as citizens of the United States, voting is both a right and a responsibility. The democratic society to which we aspire is dependent upon our thoughtful and informed participation. As well, voting is an important vehicle for the responsible exercise of our vocation to be Christian. It is one way we give voice to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and bring to life the values that our relationship with him inspires.

As we approach Election Day, I encourage you to exercise your responsibility as a citizen and as a Christian, and vote on or before November 6. In preparing to do so, you may find this linked resource helpful.
 
Gratefully,
 
The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr.
Bishop of Ohio
