Why I haven't been doorknocking

This evening Terri Gross on Fresh Air (NPR radio show) was talking to the current Presiding Bishop of the Epsicopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori. I haven't transcribed the quote exactly, but when asked about the Pastors who recently spoke from the pulpit and told their parishioners how to vote and in doing so risked losing their church's tax-exempt status, she said something like,

"My job is not to tell my parishioners how to vote. My job is to help them explore their own values, so they are more clear about their own decisions."
