Una llamada a buscar la justicia y a amar a su pr\u00f3jimo pol\u00edtico.<\/h4>\n

En el a\u00f1o 2009, con solo 20 a\u00f1os, Michael Wear se convirti\u00f3 en uno de los miembros m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes de la historia del personal de la Casa Blanca, al servir en la administraci\u00f3n del presidente Barack Obama en la oficina de Acuerdos Religiosos y de Vecindario.<\/p>\n

Habiendo crecido dentro de una familia cat\u00f3lica con ra\u00edces italianas, Michael desarroll\u00f3 su amor por la pol\u00edtica a temprana edad.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u00abCuando me convert\u00ed al cristianismo siendo adolescente, luch\u00e9 para poder reconciliar esta pasi\u00f3n por la pol\u00edtica con mi devoci\u00f3n a Dios. \u00bfRealmente deber\u00eda querer convertirme en\u00a0pastor?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despu\u00e9s de estudiar sobre el tema y tener una conversaci\u00f3n con los l\u00edderes de mi iglesia, decid\u00ed que quer\u00eda hacer p\u00fablica mi fe y usarla para ayudar y servir a los dem\u00e1s mediante la pol\u00edtica\u00bb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael decidi\u00f3 estudiar Ciencias Pol\u00edticas en la George Washington University y, a lo largo de sus estudios, fue influenciado positivamente por el grupo InterVarsity de esa universidad.<\/p>\n

En el a\u00f1o 2006, despu\u00e9s de una reuni\u00f3n con el senador Barack Obama, estos mantuvieron el contacto y, diez meses m\u00e1s tarde, Michael se uni\u00f3 al equipo de la campa\u00f1a presidencial de Obama. \u00abDespu\u00e9s de esto, fue un no parar hasta el primer d\u00eda en la Casa Blanca\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Pol\u00edtica e identidad cristiana<\/h4>\n

\u00abDurante mi tiempo en la campa\u00f1a, me afectaba c\u00f3mo, a veces, la fe cristiana hab\u00eda sido usada de manera contraproducente para ascender a un candidato en detrimento de otro. Ten\u00eda amigos que se aseguraban de que jam\u00e1s llegara a sugerir que Obama era realmente el \u00fanico candidato para los creyentes. Quiero ver a cristianos en ambos lados de la divisi\u00f3n pol\u00edtica desarrollando y apoyando pol\u00edticas que promuevan el florecimiento humano.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

La primera lealtad de un cristiano es a su Dios, no a su partido pol\u00edtico. Mi identidad est\u00e1 en Cristo, y la Iglesia me recuerda que soy un miembro de una comunidad diversa de creyentes\u00bb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Traer la gracia a la esfera\u00a0p\u00fablica<\/h4>\n

\u00abQuiero animar a los cristianos a traer la fe y la gracia a la esfera p\u00fablica, y a ver la pol\u00edtica como un medio genial para buscar la justicia y demostrar amor al pr\u00f3jimo.<\/p>\n

Durante mi tiempo en la Casa Blanca, mi trabajo consist\u00eda en encontrar recursos para que las comunidades religiosas pudieran servir a los necesitados y en asegurarme de que los creyentes fueran representados en las campa\u00f1as y debates pol\u00edticos.<\/p>\n

Aunque siempre trataba de actuar con integridad, estoy seguro de que hice cosas de manera imperfecta. Sin embargo, como cristiano, era muy consciente de que manipular procesos pol\u00edticos por un beneficio a corto plazo no era una opci\u00f3n\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Un tiempo m\u00e1s tarde, Michael fue invitado a dirigir una iniciativa en favor de la fe cristiana para la campa\u00f1a de reelecci\u00f3n del presidente Obama del 2012 y, desde entonces, ha fundado Public Square Strategies, que ayuda a organizaciones religiosas a navegar en los asuntos p\u00fablicos.<\/p>\n

Esperanza en la\u00a0pol\u00edtica<\/h4>\n

A pesar de los retos del clima pol\u00edtico actual en los Estados Unidos y en otras partes del mundo, Michael tiene esperanza.<\/p>\n

\u00abDespu\u00e9s de una d\u00e9cada trabajando en la encrucijada entre fe, pol\u00edtica y cultura, tengo m\u00e1s esperanza en el liderazgo cristiano, el estado de la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos y el futuro de la fe cristiana que cuando empec\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Si hoy en d\u00eda los estudiantes se sienten desanimados por el estado actual de la pol\u00edtica, mi sugerencia es que esta es la mejor raz\u00f3n para involucrarse en ella. Necesitamos personas fieles que no se conformen con las cosas tal y como est\u00e1n y que aporten el coraje y la habilidad para enfrentarse a ellas. Esto deber\u00eda motivar a los cristianos a querer estar involucrados en este \u00e1mbito, estar en el terreno de juego\u00bb.<\/p>\n
