You may want to come up to Kentucky and slap me for saying so, but I agree with your Pastors that politics should not be in the main message to a Church, usually on Sunday morning. Discussion groups sure, but not the service.
My own local Church of CenterPointe Christian on Sundays teaches the Word and living by it. We as the body of believers take God's Word and apply it to our daily walk in the world.
Tonight was my first session with a D-Group (Discipleship) of fellow guy believers. Politics was mentioned there, but more on a living out our faith aspect.

@solusspider @rl_dane @joel @dm @sotolf @thedoctor @pixx @twizzay @orbitalmartian @adamsdesk @krafter @roguefoam @clayton What is in the scope of "politics" is decided by evil people who have placed things like people's very existence, whether slavery should be brought back, etc. there. If you exclude anything which *they* deem politics, you let them dictate which (if any) vulnerable people, whom you have a religious mandate to offer shelter and benevolence to, you're actually able to do that for. I don't think that's what you intend, but it's the necessary outcome.
