Religion Briefs

Christian voters guide available

A voters guide of candidates seeking office in San Joaquin County is available at selected locations in Lodi and elsewhere in the county.

The guide, compiled by Christian Community Concerns, contains responses to questionnaires submitted by the Christian organization. Candidates range from the Lodi City Council and Lodi Unified School District board to congressional and U.S. Senate races.

In the partisan races, Republicans tended to respond to the survey, while only one Democrat responded.

Questions focus mostly on moral and Christian issues, such as separation between church and state, whether "Under God" should remain in the Pledge of Allegiance, abortion and gay rights issues.

Survey results are available at www.christiancommunityconcerns.org.
