How Would Jesus Vote is a program of Advance Church (www.advancechurch.org). Located in the Washington, DC metro area, Advance Church is a nondenominational fellowship of Christians from varied backgrounds. Advance Church exists to deploy godly leaders in every sphere of influence in the world.

While the 2004 and 2006 HWJV forums were based in Washington, DC, Advance Church has partnered with several organizations and churches around the country to expand this nonpartisan dialogue to help Christians inform their political values.

The HWJV tour will give Christians from both sides of the political and theological divide—liberals and conservatives from diverse denominations—an opportunity to weigh in together on which factors should guide the voting process for Christians. The forums bring together nationally renowned ministers, theologians, authors, elected officials, and other leaders to challenge participants to go beyond conventional thinking and examine the Biblical foundation for voting decisions.

The HWJV forums aren't intended to give a definitive answer to the question of who should receive a Christian's vote. Instead HWJV forums explore:

What process might Jesus use to determine how to cast His vote?
What issues would Jesus consider in casting His vote?
What questions would Jesus ask the candidates for election?
Would Jesus cast his vote based on a single issue or on a candidate's entire platform?
Would Jesus give more weight to any particular issue over others?
