Lawyer suggests abstaining from voting in 1976 election
Washington based lawyer and theologian William Stringfellow argues that a protest abstention from voting may be a proper conscience act in the 1976 presidential race. He says the issue is whether biblical people should vote at all, not candidates positions, and calls abstention a political witness to resist extra constitutional authority. He writes in Sojourners, noting such abstention does not reject politics but affirms the sovereignty of Christ over worldly politics.
