Church leaders have made a commitment to take a united stand against bad politics. Speaking at the close of a three-day virtual summit on the Church and politics, the clerics first acknowledged that they have been divided, and that their discordant voices had severely undermined the impact of the Church on national issues. The consequence is the Church seems to have ceded ground to politicians, who have gone ahead to set the agenda and narrative for national discourse.
