Basis
The columnist Helen Thomas has recently referred to the “deafening silence” of the Church with regard to the enormities of the Bush administration.

This petition offers the opportunity to the ordained leaders of the Church to speak in their role as citizens. By signing this petition, no clergyperson can reasonably be charged with “preaching politics.” Nor can he or she be accused of “speaking for the Church.” We speak not from the authority of our office, but from the right and responsibility of citizenship.
